<!-- Main issue was properly timing reflow to fix a few size and offset test bugs, and shortening the code. And there was a curiously about any real world performance issues.

The final position code for left, top depends on the proper final css classes placed on the tooltip first and reflowed first before the offset calculations. The user is allowed a custom place a custom css class and it was being added after reflow caused the position to bug. These tests validate near real performance of the various approaches.-->
