Bug: mouseover text right on top of buttons

Hello!

When I click on the yellow box of a blocked embedded video or something, a dialog pops up and asks if I want to allow the IFRAME temporarly. Now the problem is that sometimes the mouseover text is right on top of the buttons and not going away till I close the dialog box. I can move the dialog box and click on a button then or use the keyboard, but I think it should be possible to use the mouse in a comfortable way. A solution could be to disable the mouseover text completly or hide it if the mouse is moving onto the area of the buttons.

I'm on Linux with Firefox 8 and Noscript 2.2.4.

I can't seem to duplicate it.

The mouseover popup follows the position of the mouse.
When I click the placeholder, the mouseover disappears & the confirmation dialog pops up.

In my case, the confirmation dialog loads higher, just barely overlapping the top of the placeholder.

Running Windows, perhaps some difference with Linux?

It seems to be a race condition between the click and the tooltip timeout, happening after the modal dialog (which on windows, for instance, prevents tooltips from showing) appears.

Investigating for work-arounds, but looks like a Linux (Gnome?) bug.

Tentative work around in latest development build 2.2.5rc2.
