Description:
Hints (tooltips) are obscrubed by the main window window

How to repeat:
Pass the mouse over one of the items on the left toolbar. The hint window is shown well but if you move to another hint before the first one disappears then the new one stays under the main window (such as ERD diagram window) and most of the hint text cannot be read.

Thank you for a problem report. Do you use "Software Rendering" version?

No, I don't use the "software rendering" version.

I am not able to repeat the behavior reported, looks like is hardware specific
issue.

Although that's always a possibility I have to say this is the only application to ever present me such a bug. There has to be some code difference between opening a new hint window and reusing it. The reuse code is probably doing the problem.

I have just re-tried the "software rendering" version. In it what I reported doesn't happen but whenever the hint window needs to be reused I see the main window flicker once. Again, first hint window pops up fine and when I move to another hint there's a flicker (but the hint is shown well).

IMHO, there is sth wrong here that could be fixed regardless of whatever hardware I have.

Thanks
