Ahh, I wonder if what you need is actually a little different from
PIVOT-669?

It sounds like you want the Tooltip to be visible *outside* of the native
frame.  Is that right?

Something like the image in this blog post?

I read PIVOT-669 as a fix to ensure that as much of a Tooltip as possible is
displayed *within* the visible bounds of the native OS frame (for a desktop
application). I think this would just mean translating the origin (moving
the x & y position) of the Tooltip to a better location.
