Description Steve Daulton 2017-01-31 09:18:21 UTC

Tested on Linux.
Initially marked P5.

Most tool tips indicate either the "name" of the control, or what happens when the control is used, whereas the Pinned / Unpinned button tooltip indicates the current state. 

For consistency:

* It could simply say something like "Pin/Unpin play head" (just one tooltip regardless of current state)

* For tool tips that change according to state, it could say something like: "Click to pin" / "Click to unpin"

Tests OK on Ubuntu 14.04 netbook. 

I don't know if the following not affected by this commit was ever tested on a slow Linux machine, but just to confirm: the tooltip updates promptly after clicking it and remaining hovered over it, and updates promptly if changed during playback or recording.
