Tooltip from minimized window impossible to dismiss

Reported by josh3...@gmail.com, May 19 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.54 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Move the mouse over something on a page that has a tooltip (`title="..."`).
2. While the mouse is in motion, cause WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MINIMIZE to be sent to the browser window (eg press Windows+DownArrow)
3. After the window minimizes, the tooltip will appear on screen.  It is impossible to dismiss the tooltip.  Clicking on it temporarily hides it, but it immediately respawns.

What is the expected behavior?
The tooltip should never appear.

What went wrong?
The tooltip appears and never goes away.  It remains always on top of all other windows and makes me feel very stabby.

Did this work before? No

My two cents on this issue:
 - This seems to only happen if you minimize the window right before the tooltip would appear (before the 500ms timer runs), so I guess this is related to some race condition
 - Adding a visibility check here https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/ui/views/corewm/tooltip_controller.cc?l=336 could resolve this
 - Implementing a OnWindowVisibilityChanged method that stops the timer if it's still waiting and hides the tooltip if it's shown could resolve this also

This is apparently affecting slack and other projects as well.  There are some good examples of reproduction here:

https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/2874
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/9943
We use nw.exe for our project which is a desktop application.NW is also built on chromium and noticing this issue in minimize and other tooltips.Let us know if this is planned to be addressed in future.
I've noticed this issue for quite some time with the Hangouts Chrome app, since at least when the issue was created. It happens dozens of times a day for me.

I'm not sure it's necessarily with minimization. I can make it occur by just moving my mouse over the contacts on the left on my way to click a window behind hangouts. Which has to be a common UX action.

It's definitely an issue with the tooltip showing up after the window has lost focused though.
