What method of changing tabs are you using? Pressing Ctrl (on the way to either
Ctrl-Tab or Ctrl-2) immediately closes the tooltip, as does moving the mouse.
Also, do you see the same behavior in Safe Mode or in a new profile without any
extensions or with all extensions disabled?

This does not happen in safe mode, so one of the extensions must be causing
it...  It also doesn't happen when I use ctrl to change the tab, only when I use
the mouse.

Ah, well. If an extension causes it, then it's a bug for the extension author,
I'm afraid.
