Hi, 

I noticed issue slightly related to this one. When I hover mouse over exit button I get result like on screenshot (exit.png) pretty good, but there is no standard Windows's "exit" (or "close", not sure which one it is on ENG Windows) tool-tip that normally is visible with other windows. Second problem is that when I hover on the right edge of the window I can actually hover button which apparently is underneath see (exit2.png) and in this case I get "exit" tool-tip. Also Firefox's window buttons are little bit laggy when you move your mouse pointer away very fast. Native Windows's windows works better.

Actually, I'm not seeing tooltips on ANY of the Windows control buttons in the upper right corner.
This interferes with the photon-visual work. Please fix this asap.
Missing tooltips is Bug 1301569.

Hi Dão, I can only get to it (which should be a small fix) this weekend, latest Monday. I'm also happy to back out bug 1383051 changes.
