Have you already solved this problem? If no, it might be useful if you
could post some code of what you're doing; ideally a small, complete
sample.

This seems very strange, how do you determine how often these events
fire? Are you tracing something to the debug output or are you just
basing this on the fact that your tooltip doesn't appear? If the
latter, it's probably a tooltip problem rather than a mouse event
problem.
