Hi Andrey,
I think the only way is to not set the tooltip's y too low. Changing your
MouseHover listener to the one below works for me on Windows 2000, and
should work elsewhere, though you may wish to increase the value of
ARBITRARILY_CHOSEN_TOOLTIP_TRIM_HEIGHT to be safer.
public void handleEvent(final Event event) {
String string = "Multy line message part 1 \n Multy line message part 2 \n
Multy line message part 1 ";
/*
* unfortunately ToolTip does not implement computeSize(), so approximate
* its height by measuring the string and add some pixels for ToolTip trim
*/
GC gc = new GC(display);
int textHeight = gc.textExtent(string).y;
gc.dispose();
int ARBITRARILY_CHOSEN_TOOLTIP_TRIM_HEIGHT = 6;
int monitorHeight = shell.getMonitor().getClientArea().height;
int maxY = monitorHeight - (textHeight +
ARBITRARILY_CHOSEN_TOOLTIP_TRIM_HEIGHT);
final Point toolTipLocation = text.getLocation();
final Point commonToolTipLocation = shell.toDisplay(toolTipLocation);
toolTipLocation.x = commonToolTipLocation.x;
toolTipLocation.y = Math.min (maxY, commonToolTipLocation.y);
toolTip.setMessage(string);
toolTip.setLocation(toolTipLocation);
toolTip.setVisible(true);
}

set a location for the tooltip and a tooltip message could not be shown for
the location (because location too close to border of visible area) the
tooltip jumps up to the top of shell. I've tried to predict the situation
and adjust the location, but it is not possible for all cases (e.g. long or
multyline strings). I would grateful for any reasonable solution or any
suggestion how to avoid the jumping and wrong location.

Result: tooltip bar jumps to the top of the sell.
