The tooltip is suppressed when you click on the widget, so it won't get
in the way of you interacting with the widget.

The tip timer is reset when the cursor moves into the widget, or when
there's a mouse movement while inside the widget, and there was no
interaction (no scrolling or dragging).

If you think there must be another reason that the tip doesn't show, we
need to collect more information on the problem.
