As demonstrated in the following program which has 2 pink test buttons that
has the tooltip texts and 3 comboboxes to select the timing for the 3
parameter of delays. The "initial" and "dismiss" work as expected. However,
the "reshow" which doesn't matter whether I set it greater or less than
the "initial", the tooltip always wait for an "initial" time interval to pop up?
