I'm unable to reproduce this problem on Debian -- is this a Macos
problem only?
On Macos, the menu is separated from the Emacs frame, and I'm guessing
it's impossible to do tooltips up there. But I guess it could show the
tooltips in the echo area? I.e., kinda emulate having tooltip-mode off
when doing the menus?
I've added Alan to the CCs; perhaps he has some comments.
