I confused this one with a similar issue in eldoc which apparently was
fixed for Emacs 26.  I'm used to display eldoc output in tooltips so
when with tooltip-mode off I saw that Emacs 25 and 26 behaved
differently when displaying eldoc information in the echo area, I was
sure that this was due to a tooltips related change.  Sorry.

Likely it's there on purpose and somebody will get annoyed if we do
that.  We could make it customizable.
