Bug Description

If I use an application where I don't need mouse, for example a terminal.
After clicking on it I use the keyboard, and the mouse pointer remains on the icon.
If the mouse somehow moves a bit over the icon, the tooltip appears over the window,
and don't disappear while I remove the pointer from it, which is very annoying.

This is on purpose, so tool tips will also work on small buttons without the need of the cursor to be over them.
