I'll try to play with this a bit more using your suggestions. My issue is I click a button and a panel with the tableview launches, and if my mouse if over where that tableview launches the tooltips will not show. Even if I scroll around to different areas of the tableview the tooltip will not show. If I exit my mouse from the tableview and go back then it seems to work. Definitely if I make another app active (Finder for example) and then go back to my tableview it works...
