I think the OP complained about buffer list too.
I use Electric buffer list, it has tool tips and is easy
to get backed up if you mouse around it.
The mode line and window separators detect hover too and
seem to cause problems.

I just tried again, and I'm still seeing backed up tool tip windows
popping up as I type this in a local copy of Emacs.

Thanks.

I know I can disable tooltip mode but I don't see how to disable
all the hover stuff going on.  I think it's too much for remote
use.
