Some editor tooltips are interactive. To be able to enter the tooltip with
the mouse, a rectangle is computed which prevents the tooltip to hide, even if
the mouse leaves the component (which would hide it instantly).
This improves this mechanism slightly by
- adding an extra x-margin to the ignored area
- offsetting the debugger tooltip to further move the buttons into the
ignored area (right above the mouse cursor)
other:
- removed obsolete code in `ToolTipAnnotation` and minor cleanup in that
class (no other changes).
debug graphics indicates the ignore area, before:
<img width="966" height="140" alt="debug-tooltip-before"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7535552-646c-4a00-a1ce-8141ac425e08";
/>
after:
<img width="966" height="140" alt="debug-tooltip-after"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/722656a7-0e8f-4d3b-bc74-a97c421f1cd8";
/>
please note the area is now wider and the tooltip moved even more to the
left, I was just too lazy to re-create the screenshot.
other things I tried:
Why can't it be the entire width of the tooltip? Because this would prevent
neighboring components to spawn their own tooltip (see example with
`foo,bar,baz` next to each other). I did try to fight this problem by making
the ignore area time based - but this made the code even more complicated and
harder to maintain.
things I didn't try but could further improve this mechanism:
Use a trapezoid instead of a rectangle (upper part could have the width of
the tooltip)
