Description

I'm using X11 (Debian buster) with three monitors.

When I mouse-over something in DrRacket, I get a tooltip (usually a type signature or "imported from" message), but it is displayed on the monitor to the right of the monitor on which DrRacket is running -- this is presumably not what is intended.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce the tooltip behavior in DrRacket under X11 on Debian buster with three monitors, then trace the tooltip placement path. Done means tooltips appear on the monitor where DrRacket is running rather than the monitor to its right.
