This is a bug I've noticed in all builds of Visual Assist (pre-VAX too). I generally put a single statement on a single line regardless of the length of the statement.

Anyway, take a long line like:

CurrDC.BitBlt(ClipRegionRect.left, ClipRegionRect.top, ClipRegionRect.Width(), ClipRegionRect.Height(), &MemDC, ClipRegionRect.left, ClipRegionRect.top, SRCCOPY);

When the IDE display (Visual Studio 2003) is not scrolled to the right any, the tooltips show up perfectly. However, if I scroll all the way to the right and mouse over, say, the 'S' in SRCCOPY, the tooltip incorrectly shows "CRect ClipRegionRect" and in build 1532, the refactoring "down arrow thingie" (for lack of a better description) is nowhere near the "SRCCOPY" symbol. If I then mouse over the 'Y' in SRCCOPY, the tooltip incorrectly shows "LONG tagRECT::left". Your mileage may vary depending on screen resolution and how you scroll over. The important thing is that VAX is not picking up the right element to process (it acts like it is "ghosting" other elements on the line). This problem consistently shows up on long lines of code (of which I've got plenty). VAX tooltips are just fine as long as I don't have to scroll horizontally.
