I don't think it is a dupe,for different product,different component,different 
appearence,and different solution.You can not be disturbed with the 
word "Tooltip" in the Summary.
But thanks you all the same.:)

I don't think the appearance is different.  I don't know enough about the 
internals to comment on the whether the solution you're using is the way to do 
things or not -- but if there is a general solution to the XP toolbar/tooltip 
combination that would solve both problems, as I suspect there is, then the fact 
that the symptom appears in different products makes no difference; in fact, 
that bug was originally filed under Mail/News, and bug 147670 comment 57 
mentions exactly the symptom this bug was filed under.

And as far component, this bug is misfiled under "Composition."

CC'ing bryner, who knows that bug fairly in-depth.

I see that.
But the key is which solution we choose is better
One is prohibit the display to avoid the empty tip or the wrong tip.
Another is define every tips to avoid the empty and the wrong.
Maybe we can make a vote.
