This is a small cosmetic bug, but a little bit annoying. Tooltips within the node editor triggered by a mouseover event of a gui element are apparently not getting any type of signal to close when the mouse moves away from the gui element. They are not disappearing until some other even takes place on the node editor (such as clicking on an item, or hitting esc.)
This is on a Linux (Gentoo) build.

No such problem here, Ubuntu Linux 64 bit, NVidia 8800. Which graphics card are you using?

We use frontbuffer draw and clear with glDrawPixels for this.
When this fails, you have a problem with opengl (drvers).
Also: always check official builds from blender.org to be sure! And mention full gfx specs...

Gfx card is an old nvidia. GeForce4 MX 440 (NV17 chip)
Legacy drivers 96.43.07
I think you might be able to close this though. It must have been a hiccup in the system somewhere because I can no longer reproduce it.
