Description: Unlike the summary, this issue is not directly related to 
watches. The problem is caused by multiple refiring of tooltips. Almost 
infinite refreshing loop is started as soon as two clients ask for the 
tooltip (e.g. mouse and Properties window).

Impact: 100% CPU consumed for a long time and "frozen" IDE.

Risk assessment: Thoroughly reviewed and verified fix, should not have 
any negative side effects.

Verification and peer review at 
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=161441#desc29 and 
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=161441#desc31.

Thanks,
