    Subject: tooltip-mode disabled prevents messages in minibuffer


    Evaluate this:

     (require 'easymenu)
     (defvar my-menu (copy-tree facemenu-menu) "")
     (defalias 'my-menu my-menu)
     (define-key global-map [C-down-mouse-2] 'my-menu)
     (easy-menu-do-add-item my-menu ["TEST" test t])
     (defun test () "" (interactive) (message "TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"))
     (tooltip-mode 1)

    Use `C-mouse-2' to bring up the facemenu and then click TEST. The
    message TTTTTTTTTTTT appears in the minibuffer, as it should.

    Now, do this: (tooltip-mode -1)

    Try menu item TEST again: no message appears in the minibuffer. The
    message TTTTTTTTTT appears in *Messages*, however.

    I don't know if an empty tooltip message in the minibuffer is somehow
    overwriting the message or what. If that is the problem, how can I
    control that?  I tried binding tooltip-mode to 1 around the call to
    `message', but that didn't help.
