Help messages are still displayed in their own tooltip frame. Previously using the echo area for GUD tooltips required help messages to be displayed there also. Turning tooltip-mode off means that help messages displayed in the echo area and that GUD tooltips are no longer displayed. Maybe this change is not as good as I first thought because now it is not possible to have both GUD tooltips and help messages displayed in the echo area. Why did you make that change? It would seem that if people prefer to have GUD tooltip texts displayed in the echo area, they most likely also want help messages displayed there. Sincerely, Luc.
