The documentation for setDismissDelay( int ) is incorrect. It states that this delay is "an int specifying the number of microseconds to delay (after the cursor has moved on) before taking away the tooltip".

First, it's milliseconds, not microseconds (huge difference!).

Second, this delay is used even if the cursor has not moved. For example, if you don't move the mouse once the ToolTip appears, the ToolTip will still disappear after the Dismiss Delay.

Personally, I think that the Dismiss Delay _should_ work the way it's documented (except for the microseconds deal). The ToolTip should remain as long as the cursor is over the component, but should disappear within the Reshow Delay if the cursor moves outside the component.
