widget.c: tooltip is flashing every 0.1s/1s

[olivierbutler]

The tooltip is appearing only 0.1s every 1s Proposal In function tooltip_floop_cb line 551

	if (last_mouse_x != mouse_x || last_mouse_y != mouse_y /*||   <-- removing tooltip_invalid() fix the issue
	    tooltip_invalid()*/) {
		last_mouse_x = mouse_x;
		last_mouse_y = mouse_y;
		mouse_moved_time = now;
		if (cur_tt != NULL)
			destroy_cur_tt();
		return (TOOLTIP_INTVAL);
	}

The drawback is that the tooltip appears if there is an other window over, but according Laminar XPLMIsWindowInFront may return an incorrect value.

Thus, if you have a window at the front of the floating window layer (xplm_WindowLayerFloatingWindows), this will return true even if there is a modal window (in layer xplm_WindowLayerModal) above you. (Not to worry, though: in such a case, X-Plane will not pass clicks or keyboard input down to your layer until the window above stops “eating” the input.)
