Description

Calling showToolTip() on a Widget adds this as a neighbor to the Wt-domRoot

<div class="tooltip fade top in position-absolute" style="inset: 40px auto auto 20px;">
  <div class="tooltip-inner">8/10</div>
</div>

I would expect the ToolTip to be in close proximity of the Widget it Belongs To.

Image shows the Tooltip of the lower Rating Widget displayed at the top left, near another Widget.

This came up while trying to navigate a complex widget with keyboard only.

Used showToolTip on the selected Widget after keypress.

Using Mouse, the Tooltip hovers near the cursor, as expected.
