Description:
Error tooltips that show for a editor still appear when different editor tabs are selected, which is
confusing (editing the query in the wrong editor won't make the tooltip go away) and covers up code.

How to repeat:
Open SQL IDE
Add a new editor, so that you have 2 editors open
Type something in 1st editor, like 'select'
Wait for syntax checker to kick in and highlight the text in red
Move cursor over the highlighted text and wait for tooltip to popup
Move cursor to tab for 2nd editor, so that the tooltip is still shown
Select 2nd tab.
Edit 2nd tab contents all you want and error popup will still be there

Suggested fix:
Hide tooltip when editor becomes obscured/tab switches.

An entry has been added to the 5.2.23 changelog:

In the SQL Query tab of SQL Editor, tooltip error messages were still displayed, even after switching to another tab.
