Left click and hold on a menu and then move the mouse around over menus
and menu entries until a tooltip doesn't disappear.  It took a few
minutes of trying.

If it's any help, see the attachment.  In this case, the dark gray
highlighting of the second menu entry has not been redrawn where the
tooltip for the first menu entry once was (and correctly popped down).
For me, this is easier to reproduce that the bug I actually reported.

Also of possible significance, I can't reproduce on GNU/Linux with GTK+
(I don't have Motif on my old RHEL box) displaying on the same X server.
It's also worth repeating that I'm using Exceed (Windowing system
distributor `Hummingbird Ltd.', version 11.0.100015) running on WinXP.
The problem might be one or both of Sol/Motif and WinXP/Exceed.
