I check it and it works test the following script

Opt ("TrayIconDebug", 1)
;Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
FileChangeDir(@Scriptdir)
#include "GUIConstants.au3"

Global $title = "foo ToolTip Example"
GUICreate($title)

Global $button = GuiCtrlCreateButton ("Hover over me",10,10)
;GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_DISABLE)
GuiCtrlSetTip($button, "This is a tooltip")

Global $toggle = GuiCtrlCreateCheckbox ("Enable button",10,90)
GuiSetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed or timeout
$start=TimerInit()
Do
   $msg =GUIGetMsg()
if $msg>0 then
  If $msg = $toggle Then
     If GUICtrlRead($toggle) = $GUI_CHECKED Then
          GuiCtrlSetState ($button, $GUI_ENABLE)
     Else
        GuiCtrlSetState ($button, $GUI_DISABLE)
     EndIf
  EndIf
  $start=TimerInit()
endif
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE; OR TimerDiff($start)>=3000

Exit

If I was a Microsoft support guy I would have say just reinstall. To be frank no idea certainly some registry value suppress the tooltip display.

Following is a code showing a label partially over a Graphic. The Tip is not shown when the mouse is on the label part which is overlayed by the graphic:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("My GUI control tip", 150, 120); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic (0, 0, 60, 120)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xff0000)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("my label", 40, 40)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "tip of my label")

GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
WEnd

Is it normal?

Edit: I solved the problem by adding GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) for the graphic

Overlap of controls should be avoid or as for pic and graphic you must disable them when you don't need to received event from them.

I think I update the doc for pic I should update a little more :">
