A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a component is removed while its tooltip is displayed, the tooltip remains visible for some time. Under circumstances this tooltip functions like a landmine - move the mouse cursor over it and you get a NPE.

This could possibly be a duplicate of Bug 5041071, but I'm not sure since there is not much description.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run my test application. There is a frame that contains two JLabels, both with a ToolTipText. Important is Label 2. Move the mouse cursor over Label 2 so that the tooltip is displayed. Then press the 'Del' button on the keyboard which causes this Label 2 to be removed. Now move the mouse cursor over the tooltip that will remain visible for a few seconds, and at mouseExit() occasionally a NPE occurs. It occurs always when the (very long) tooltip of Label 1 has been displayed before.
