Just pushed a potential fix [c121609a53].  Please test latest git and let me know if that worked.

Just pulled and installed latest git and now can double click on the rotary knobs. The (blue in my case) tooltip with just the value is still visible, not sure if with the new tooltip this would be somewhat redundant?

Also, but my educated guess would be that this might be desktop-environment dependent (KDE Plasma in my case) as well as QT dependent, the large tooltip is often placed in ways that my (slightly larger than average) mouse curor arrow covers parts of it... The placement of the tooltips (in general) seems to be calculated based on widget position and cursor so I'm not really sure if this can be mitigated or even calculated.

To complicate matters this also depends on users' cursor 'theme' and style. In my case I have 'breeze' cursors size 48, so the typical arrow pointer is angled towards the right.. I'm not even sure if this kind of information is exposed to toolkits like QT.

In my case placing the tooltip _above_ the mouse cursor and to its left would probably work best but there are corner cases where this wouldn't work (a widget far left and/or far top), and I'm sure this would break another users' system where they might have a cursor which is angled to the left.

When trying to double click on a knob (to set the value directly) I am often not able to get to the dialog, unless I point very precisely to the outer rim.

It seems that the first click triggers a tooltip which seems to be 'in the way' of the second click (in double clicking). Also this tooltip in my case is right below my pointer.
