Please allow us to set tooltip offsets, so I whatever value you calculate it to be shown at I can "push" it off further. Also please append a class showing of the location of the tooltip (top, bottom, left, right) to help us style appropriatly.
Currently the autoHide option for Tooltips always hides when the mouse leaves the target element. This makes sense for showOn values "mouseenter" and "click", but does not make sense for showOn "focus". In the latter case the mouse might not even be over the target when the tooltip is shown, so autoHide is not useful (and indeed you get weird behaviour like multiple tips appearing). It seems the obvious behaviour for autoHide in this case is to hide on blur.

We have the needs to display a toolbar vertically. We tried your toolbar control but the feature was not there. However, we looked at the code and did minor changes to allow it. Is there any way we can submit the code so you would look at it and maybe add it to the main stream of Kendo UI javascript toolbar?
