I tried to reproduce it on MS-Windows but after the fix for Bug#3192, it
doesn't reproduce for me anymore.  The fix is in:

commit f22346fe5abdbdac2ba5f690c11fda4d4f5d22d6

    With tooltip-mode disabled, don't unconditionally clear the echo area

    * lisp/tooltip.el (tooltip-show-help-non-mode): Only clear the
    echo area when the current message displayed is a tooltip message
    (Bug#3192).


If I revert that change, then it's easily reproducible.

I cannot reproduce it on GNU/Linux neither (even following the
extra step given by Dani Moncayo)
