Another huge annoyance: The tooltip grows without limits, if I have lots of 
documents open (I do have that) the tooltip covers half my screen. Since it 
won't close when my mouse happens to be over that, I end up with the tooltip 
in my face just because I hit a shortcut and have to use the mouse to *hide* 
it.

Really, this has to be removed again.
