Author (VW7.5) Help with FlyByHelp anomaly

[VW7.5] When I first open a window with widgets that have fly by help
tool tips associated with them, sometimes the tool-tips don't come up.
However, if I shift the focus away to another window and back again
then the tool-tips appear.

This doesn't happen every time, but is still annoying.

I've tried doing <FlyByHelpSystem activate> in both the postOpenWith:
and postBuildWith: methods but to no avail.

I have seen cases where the very first flyby opens as solid black.
Then all is fine after that. This is in earlier version of VW
7.4-7.4.1. Is this what your referring to?

No, the help just doesn't appear, when it does it's fine and continues
OK.

I've seen that in some cases when using John Brant's DLLCC interface
to Windows' window transparency, but not in 7.4.1 with default
settings.

Yes, we see the same occasionally in 7.4.1 with 7.4d VM. My impression
was that the tool tips work, but then "die" in a given window, so not
just being dead at the start. Switching to another window and back
makes them start working again.
