.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

2. Click the down arrow of the Get Msgs button.
3. Hover over a menu item in the Get Msgs dropdown until a tooltip is displayed.

Actual Results:  
The tooltip from the Compose (or other) button is displayed.

Expected Results:  
No tooltip should be displayed. (Or at least I can't think of anything useful to
show for the items in this menu.)

I also see this with 2002112204 on Win2k.

(When you do *not* get another tooltip before, "Get new messages" is displayed
as tooltip, which is correct and does make sense)

I suspect that that is just a side effect of the bug, though. Its hardly
necessary to have a tooltip saying 'Get new messages' in a 'Get Msgs' menu.

This bug also occurs for the dropdown menu from the 'File' toolbar button.

fix for bug 71329 might to fix this.
Other variants are bug 79240 and bug 147670

[Mike Cowperthwaite]

Not a dupe of bug 71329 or bug 79240, as far as I can tell; this is about 
tooltips over the menus, not the dropdown widget on the toolbar. 

Note that Kyle said in the duplicatee, tooltips over the menus shouldn't even be 
there.
