Taskbar tool tips partially hidden

Today my task bar started hiding the bottom of all tool tips on the task
bar. I use this quite a bit for things like verifying today's date by
hovering over the time, or LAN connection speed etc. I followed the
instructions in KB article Q307499 and it did no good. Problem still
exists. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thank you,
 
This is a well known and ongoing issue.
There is no fix, may never be, other than next time you start the system it
will probably be OK.

Thanks for the comments but now the weirdness starts. I have not rebooted,
just went away for a couple of hours and now all is fine?!
I guess some mysteries of life are not to be known.
 
It's caused by the Show Desktop command. Tooltips are always on, just hidden or non hidden. As Show Desktop hides windows that can't be minimised, the Z-order gets messed up when the taskbar is On Top (and thus the tooltips too).
