#3504: unexpected tooltip behaviour on jabber chatrooms
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------

------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 In jabber chatrooms tooltips behave in an unexpected (and annoying) way:

  * If the pointer hovers over the main frame or the inferior text area of
 the chatroom window, no tooltip is shown (as expected).

  * When mouse focus is in the users frame (in the right-hand side of the
 chatroom window), no tooltip is shown either.

  * When the mouse pointer '''leaves''' the RHS frame a tooltip appears,
 regardless of where the focus is now: it appears over the main chatroom
 window, the text area at the bottom or even another window or the desktop
 if the pointer leaves the frame by the right side border. The only way for
 the tooltip '''not''' to appear is if the mouse pointer leaves the RHS
 frame by the top border. The tooltip shows:
   * the alias of the user
   * Account: name of the account
   * Status: offline
   * Subscription: None(To pending)

  * The only ways for the tooltip to '''disappear''' are:
   * hovering back again over the RHS frame of the chatroom,
   * hovering over the Buddy list window,
   * closing the window (or the tab where the tooltip was generated if
 several tabs are present).
