TOOLTIP				Tooltip	-	X	RT-36992 This seems to be a work around for a Mac specific problem. When a window is shown, focus goes to the control inside (the text of the tooltip), then that hides the window, then the tooltip is show. Need to document that this is not asked for on Windows. I assume that using a TEXT role control for the tooltip guts works on Windows but fails on Mac? Is there another way that this could be worked around that did not require a platform specific role?
