Just pulled and installed latest git and now can double click on the 
rotary knobs. The (blue in my case) tooltip with just the value is still 
visible, not sure if with the new tooltip this would be somewhat redundant?

Also, but my educated guess would be that this might be 
desktop-environment dependent (KDE Plasma in my case) as well as QT 
dependent, the large tooltip is often placed in ways that my (slightly 
larger than average) mouse curor arrow covers parts of it... The 
placement of the tooltips (in general) seems to be calculated based on 
widget position and cursor so I'm not really sure if this can be 
mitigated or even calculated.

To complicate matters this also depends on users' cursor 'theme' and 
style. In my case I have 'breeze' cursors size 48, so the typical arrow 
pointer is angled towards the right.. I'm not even sure if this kind of 
information is exposed to toolkits like QT.

In my case placing the tooltip _above_ the mouse cursor and to its left 
would probably work best but there are corner cases where this wouldn't 
work (a widget far left and/or far top), and I'm sure this would break 
another users' system where they might have a cursor which is angled to 
the left.
