Normally if you leave the mouse pointer on a word for about a second the balloon usage tip appears. But if, say, the word "TIMER" appears on the first line and I move the mouse pointer up, through that word, into the tab/toolbar/menu area, with the mouse actually on "TIMER" for no more than 1/10 of a second, the tip appears anyway. It would appear that moving the mouse pointer off the edit area does not cancel the timing mechanism for the balloon tip.
