emacs -Q
M-x toggle-frame-fullscreen

Place the mouse pointer on some element of the mode line and wait for
the tooltip. The tooltip frame is partially invisible because its top
left coordinates are determined from the mouse pointer position and, as
it is positioned near the bottom of the screen, there is no room left
for the tooltip.

A tooltip may also be partially hidden because it has no enough
horizontal space when the mouse pointer is near the right edge of the
screen.

The MS Windows port places the tooltips taking into account the screen
edges.
