A box keeps appearing under the cursor

I've almost finished my first (and big...) Qt app, and first time using Qt Creator (Qt 5.4.0) But one problem remains.

When I stop moving my cursor, this thing appears below, within app window

Once it appears, it disappears only when I start moving it again, just to pop-up immediately when I stop.

I have 2k lines of code and none of it is in any way connected to mousepads. What's that?

Nice... a 3d cursor with shadow :-) – Greenflow Apr 29 '15 at 08:57

Looks like an empty 3d tooltip – Morb Apr 29 '15 at 08:59
how do I turn that off? It's not in-code, and this is the first time I'm using Qt creator. – Petersaber Apr 29 '15 at 09:01

Check in your *.ui files whether any widget has empty spaces set for tooltip – Lahiru Chandima Apr 29 '15 at 09:10
The only thing I found about that is http://www.qtforum.org/article/13609/qt4-removing-a-tool-tip.html – Morb Apr 29 '15 at 09:12
There shouldn't be tooltips if you don't set them. Maybe you're setting strings with only spaces or something (like Lahiru Chandima suggests). grep UI files and code for "toolTip/ToolTip". – Frank Osterfeld Apr 29 '15 at 09:32
there is not a single mention of "tip" nor "tool" (other than toolBar) in the *.ui file – Petersaber Apr 29 '15 at 09:37

whatd'ya know. Appereantly CTRL+F "Tip" is not reliable anymore. There was a blank ToolTip in the ui file. Deleted it, and now everythings the way it should be. Thanks – Petersaber Apr 29 '15 at 10:17
