<Swing Dev> JDK-6219960 null reference in ToolTipManager

[Jason Mehrens]

Anthony,
 
Using the testcase from the bug report I can reproduce the error on Java 8. 
 
This bug in the ToolTipManager is really about how the mouse events are not fired when something happens to the z-order.  When the modal dialog is shown the mouseExited is not fired even though that modal dialog is now the only thing I can interact with.  The patch for the symptom was to hide the tooltip when initiateToolTip was called and this condition was detected.  I would think that would be pretty easy to get approved.  However, fixing the root cause requires a bunch of thought and debate on what determines the mouse being contained in a component (X-axis and Y-axis only or X,Y,Z-axis).
 
Thanks,
 
Jason
