But the normal frame which hosts the tooltip is not moved in this
scenario.  To reproduce, turn on mouse-avoidance-mode (I used 'jump'
as the avoidance technique), then start Dired, and move the mouse to
the file name under cursor.  Here, the tooltip appears and immediately
disappears, and I see no movement of the "hosting" frame anywhere.
