emacs -Q
In *scratch*, evaluate this:
(add-text-properties 1 10 '(help-echo "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"))
Put the mouse pointer over one of the first 10 chars. There is no
tooltip. `M-x tooltip-mode', to turn it off. Put pointer over the char
again. There is no echo-area echo.
`C-u C-x =' on one of the first 10 chars. There is no `help-echo'
property.
Using `put-text-property' instead of `add-text-properties'
gives the same result.
In Emacs 24.3 or a prior release there is no such problem.

Disable font-lock-mode, and help-echo works again as expected.
It sounds like font-lock overwrites the help-echo property.

I hope no one is suggesting that this is a new feature, instead
of a regression. ;-)

This is emacs: we'll end up with a font-lock-help-echo text property.

Sorry, I cannot tell whether you are joking, Wolfgang. I hope so.

If you insert text with text properties into buffers controlled by
font-lock, they are removed. (Most of them.) So this isn't a bug.
Closing.

You are just saying that this is not a bug because it exists.
And it is certainly NOT the case that font-lock removes text
properties in general. NOT "most" of them - there are an
unlimited number of text properties you can use, and
`font-lock-extra-managed-props' targets very few of them
(thank goodness).
The question is not whether `font-lock-extra-managed-props',
in effect, removes text properties, but why it now removes
THIS property, which has nothing to do with text highlighting.
Why should `help-echo' be on `font-lock-extra-managed-props'?
Why should toggling `font-lock-mode' toggle help-echo display?
Without hearing a solid argument in its favor, I do not see
this as a feature, but a bug (regression).
And if it is argued that it is a feature (I'd love to hear
the rationale), I see nothing about this incompatible change
in NEWS (e.g. for 24.4).

I guess the reason is to allow font-lock to propertize parts of the
buffer with this property. This issue is a (presumably not trivially
avoidable) side effect.

By "allow font-lock to propertize parts of the buffer with this
property" do you mean allow it to propertize, with faces, parts
of the buffer that happen to have property `help-echo'? Or do
you mean allow it to add property `help-echo' parts of the buffer?
If the latter, what is the use case for font-lock doing that?
I'll assume you meant the former -
In that case, why not trivially avoidable? Why not tell font-lock
hands-off this property, which has nothing to do with highlighting?
Until the recent change that caused this regression, property
`help-echo' was not on the list `font-lock-extra-managed-props'.
Is it clear to you why it needs to be on that list? It's not
clear to me.

See lisp-mode.el for one answer.

Too unclear. What part of that library do you think is
significant here? What's your point?
(And what does `help-echo' have to do with Lisp mode,
necessarily?)

No, the latter. As Eli suggested, see lisp-mode.el for examples. Or
`font-lock-compile-keywords'.

Just grep for "help-echo", all matches are related in an obvious way (or
don't you get matches with your version of the sources?).

Search for help-echo, and you will see.
