Thanks for the report. I think that before investigating this further
we need another recipe. Yours is based on ‘pos-tip-show’ which is not
part of Emacs. Does ‘pos-tip-show’ use GTK+ tooltips or the native
Emacs ones - what is your value of ‘x-gtk-use-system-tooltips’?
Then we would have to decide how to retrieve a non-nil return value for
‘x-hide-tip’ in the first place. Here the tooltip disappears
immediately when I type anything, so the return value is always nil by
force, presumably. We'd probably need a timer to test your function.
Finally, we would have to check the results for the function you get
this way for both ‘x-gtk-use-system-tooltips’ nil/t settings and for at
least one other toolkit.
Can you please try doing all that?
Thanks again, martin
