John, I would suggest logging this as a bug. If you have a test case 
(or a small test app) that reproduces it, please attach that to the bug.

Also, based on your posting, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. 
You mention that tool tips aren't working on Leopard but did work on 
Tiger. Can you be more specific? Things that are useful to know in 
problems like this:

* What/when/where you saw tooltips on Tiger and when you aren't seeing 
them on Leopard (ie: you move your mouse to a specific view, or a 
specific location in a view).
* If you are linking against the 10.5 framework SDK or not.
* How you are doing your tooltips (ie: only through bindings? are they 
being dynamically updated?)
