You'll have to write something custom. That {bad} behavior is part of the Tooltip control as written by Microsoft. You would have thought they would lead by example, but its a case of it being sloppy work on their part.

You might be able to make a new tooltip that inherits from the framework tooltip, but checks the location. I'm not sure it that will work as I've never tried. But its a thought.
