Tooltip timer does not reset between GUI controls about torque2d

[ParodyGames]

Not super familiar with Github, or how to actually submit a proposed fix. But, to fix this behavior in guiCanvas.cc you can add two lines in with the onMouseLeave handling. The updated function should look like this:

void GuiCanvas::findMouseControl(const GuiEvent &event)
{
   if(size() == 0)
   {
      mMouseControl = NULL;
      return;
   }
   GuiControl *controlHit = findHitControl(event.mousePoint);
   if(controlHit != static_cast<GuiControl*>(mMouseControl))
   {
	   if (bool(mMouseControl))
	   {
		   mMouseControl->onMouseLeave(event);
		   hoverControlStart = Platform::getRealMilliseconds();
		   hoverPositionSet = false;
	   }
      mMouseControl = controlHit;
      mMouseControl->onMouseEnter(event);

   }
}
