Tooltip disappears too soon

I'm using uTorrent 2.2 build 23703 (BTW, it'd be nice to be able to copy the version text from the About window, e.g. right-click the label and select "Copy" from the popup menu).

Problem: When a file name in the bottom "Files" tab is too long to fit its column one can mouse over it and see the full name in a tooltip window. The problem is that the tooltip disappears in under one second, so then one has to move the mouse, wait for a short delay before the tooltip is displayed, and try to read it again in another split second. I noticed that the tooltip disappears at the very moment when the status bar gets updated (current speed output), so hiding the tooltip is probably done as part of the general window update cycle.

I think the tooltip is dismissed every time the listview refreshes, which is not very useful.
That's what I assumed. I guess it should be possible to re-show the tooltip after updating the listview (if it was displayed before the update iteration && mouse cursor didn't move out of the listview && mouse cursor didn't move to another line of the listview during the update). It may flicker a little bit, but that'd still be much more usable than the current behavior.

Plus, the file list in question did NOT update the contents of any of its displayed columns, and still the tooltip disappeared.
