I think it would write an event on every mouse move instead just when
it was needed. After the change, if a help echo was shown then it
would set a flag so that when the NSWindow lost focus it would clear
it. Your change was good (to reset the flag in that case) and should
probably be installed but it wasn't sufficient to solve my original
problem.
