  +1 for fixing the bug
  
  -1 for making it use a length-based calculation. IMO this is a case of being "so smart it's dumb" because it cannot predict user reading speed, take into account non-word-length differences due to translation, etc. Also, it encourages developers to put way too much text in a tooltip. If you can't read a tooltip's text in five or seven seconds, it's too long. I would prefer that we use a hardcoded timeout and them change the QWidgets tooltips duration to follow that.
