Left tooltip from preview panel when mouse leaves it

The attached video should demonstrate the issue more clearly.
An easy/easier way to trigger this with 100% success is to put the mouse over a hyperlink and press ctrl+M to hide the preview pane; the statusbar message will stay stuck.
Thanks for a bug report. I also noticed it, but I didn't find a reliable way to address this little nitpick. I'm sort of able to fix this for the browser window (extra window with a message only), but not for the usual application window. One issue is that the leave-notify-event is not received as expected, neither reporting which window had been left, thus not much way to identify, whether it was the web-view, responsible for the tooltip, or any other part of the window. Even hiding the preview window doesn't trigger this leave-notify-event. Maybe I do something wrong.

I cooked a little hack, which seems to work. Created commit 6d409e6 in evo master (3.19.3+) Created commit 93c40f6 in evo gnome-3-18 (3.18.3+)
