Tested with attached test case, ICEfaces EE-3.3.0 maintenance branch and ICEfaces 4 trunk r51826, Tomcat 8, MS Edge, IE 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, FF 55, Chrome 60.
For the most part this issue appears resolved however I found a possible bug where the tooltip is improperly triggered only when performing these specific steps (all browsers).
1.) Use the attached test case with the lastest EE-3.3.0 maintenance branch libs.
2.) In the test app hover in decending order, for one second, over each of the cells in the name column. Example: Hover over Volvo for one second, move directly down to Subaru for one second, then down to VW for one second.
3.) Move the mouse away from the VW cell about halfway down the page in a southward motion. Leave the mouse stationary.
4.) Wait ~5 seconds, the VW tooltip appears.
This issue does not occur when moving the mouse east, west or north from the cell. Also it does not seem to occur if not hovering over each of the cells exactly as described in step 2.
This issue was only occasionally seen with IF 4 libs, but is easily reproduced with EE-3.3.0 libs.
Attached test case code and war file. Note, the icefaces core, ace, and compat jar files need to be added into the war for it to run.
