I can't reproduce it on demand. I have sometimes seen tooltips stay
stuck there, but then clicking or moving the mouse over their button
makes them go away. I think in this case the button went away before
the tooltip did, and then there was no way to get rid of it. If I was
working on this I would look into the code that removes the tooltip.
It seems like we need to either make more sure the tooltip is removed
when the button is removed, or to have some way to clean up tooltips
that are somehow hanging around orphaned. (For example I think in gtk
mousing over the tooltip will make it disappear.)
