Does it need to use a timer at all? Is it acceptable for the tooltip to stay there until the cursor is moved away from the link?
The timer is required to delay *showing* the tooltip (so webview doesn't immediately hide it again), so yes, it's required and core of this workaround. The 5.4 branching however has been in place before, I'm not sure whether it's related to the workaround. Cheers, Thomas
