Tooltip is interfering with mouseEntered/mouseExited events

[Jonathan Giles]

Stepping back slightly, the concern I've raised previously with regard 
to the modena tooltip is its positioning under the mouse. I think the 
first thing that should be discussed is whether we can relocate that 
popup such that it is slightly shifted downwards and to the right so 
that it doesn't appear directly under the mouse pointer. I think with 
this resolved the other issues no longer matter - is this correct?
