Reworked patch doing away with auto-hide timer and making tooltips disappear on mouse move
As per the suggestions in the comments above, specifically those by Dave Jakeman, this patch changes the tooltip behaviour as follows:
1. Tooltips appear after 500 milliseconds of hovering over an object without moving. (unmodified)
2. Tooltips disappear as soon as the mouse moves (as opposed to when the mouse leaves the node).
3. Tooltips only reappear if the mouse exits the node and reenters it (new behaviour).
Please can someone test it out to see if it works intuitively. I'm personally more in favour of it reappearing without having to exit the node, but comments above suggest that I am in the minority.
