Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build an application that with a UIComponent that has a tooltip that is updated every second with the time.
2. Start the application and hold your mouse over the UIComponent
3.

Actual Results:
The tooltip will only show the value of the toolTip property of the UIComponent as it was when the mouse was moved over the component.

Expected Results:
The tooltip should update its text as the toolTip property of the UIComponent changes

Workaround (if any):
As a workaround, you can set the toolTip property to null before reassigning a value.

Solution:
It seems to me that the method ToolTipManagerImpl.registerToolTip should consider a third case:
elseif (newToolTip != oldToolTip && mouseIsOver(target))
{
// update the tooltip
}
