Using VA X build 1216 on VC++6 Win2k.

If the mouse cursor is placed over an identifier a hoovering tooltip with info about the identifier appears, which is great.

Working with the keyboard, if I do something that should generate a different tooltip (For example writing a funtion name and opening parantheses to see the parameters list), the new tooltip shows, and quickly (about 0.5-2 sec usually) afterwards get cleared and the tooltip for the mouse cursor reappears.
This despite the fact that the mouse was not moved at all.

This does not happen when listboxes are opened due to keyboard events, only over tooltips. It also doesn't happen if for example I explicitly show the parameters tooltip using Ctrl-Alt-Space. However any other tooltip that appears "automatically" is destroyed by the refresh of the mouse one.

Currently the workaround is to just place the mouse cursor off the editing window, so it's not a serious problem, but it is annoying.
I don't think the tooltip should be shown again without any mouse event occuring.
