Ahh, I wonder if what you need is actually a little different from PIVOT-669?
It sounds like you want the Tooltip to be visible *outside* of the native frame. Is that right? Something like the image in this blog post? http://www.devdaily.com/blog/post/jfc-swing/how-display-balloon-help-tooltip-text-java-component I read PIVOT-669 as a fix to ensure that as much of a Tooltip as possible is displayed *within* the visible bounds of the native OS frame (for a desktop application). I think this would just mean translating the origin (moving the x & y position) of the Tooltip to a better location.
