242912 - Tooltip stays visible when switching applications

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 148624

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brion Vibber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040506 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040506 Firefox/0.8.0+

When switching from Firefox to another application using Cmd+Tab, an open
tooltip will remain visible and sit in front of the other application's windows.
The tooltip stays there until I switch back to Firefox or click on it (which as
it happens, switches back to Firefox).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the mouse over an item in the bookmark bar, an <img> with a title
attribute, etc until a tooltip pops up
2. Hit Cmd+Tab to switch to another app.

Actual Results:  
The tooltip remains open, obscuring part of the other application's window(s).

Expected Results:  
Tooltip should hide when Firefox is no longer the foreground app.

Mac OS X 10.3.3. Default Pinstripe theme.
