Hi Alexander,

I can't tell you how to solve the problem, but I think I can suggest
why it happens.

Scintilla uses the GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK setting to reduce the
number of motion events it receives.

If you are moving the pointer out of Geany fast enough it is possible
that Scintilla (and therefore you) is not getting a motion event from
GTK before the leave event.

Maybe you can connect to the leave event (and other relevant ones) to
decide to hide the tooltip.

Cheers
Lex
