Confirmed: If I hover the mouse over the LC IDE's Tools palette and
wait for the tooltip to appear, then Cmd+Tab to another app, the tooltip
does indeed stay visible. However, as soon as I move the mouse the
tooltip hides as expected; it may be that because the mouse must remain
stationary to see this behavior that it hasn't been discussed much.
If this isn't in the RQCC it might be good to add it, since I suspect it
would be an easy fix to add suspend to the actions that dismiss a
tooltip and would give the app a more polish feeling.
