This mimics QToolTip behavior and ensures the tooltip is actually readable. The property naming is quite confusing;

+1 for fixing the bug
-1 for making it use a length-based calculation. IMO this is a case of being "so smart it's dumb" because it cannot predict user reading speed, take into account non-word-length differences due to translation, etc. Also, it encourages developers to put way too much text in a tooltip. If you can't read a tooltip's text in five or seven seconds, it's too long. I would prefer that we use a hardcoded timeout and them change the QWidgets tooltips duration to follow that.

That requires a behavior change in Qt to something that has been like this for decades.
Ah so it's in Qt itself and not something we do? Oh well, best to at least be consistent, then.
