[ JDK VERSION : 1.7.7 ] You cannot view the hoover-over hints when the blockhint is visible. Reproduction: Create a class that is long enough so that the top of it can be scrolled off the screen (that is no longer visible) and contains a typical hint (such as "The array is never written to...". Make sure the class definition is off the screen and the hint is on the screen, place the cursor at the ending brace so that the block-hint shows at the top, if you now tries to peek at the hint by hoovering it it wont show. I think this is caused by the fact that the hint-pop is busy showing the block-hint, suggestion is that if you hoover a hint for more than, say one second it should switch.
Svata, please take a look. Thanks.
The custom tooltip for braces intereferes with the tooltips produced automatically by gutter or DocumentViews for the mouse pointer location.

Verified, it, however, does a little flickering, but I wont file that unless you think it is needed.
