Just checked things on :1. I get the same results. One strange thing,
though. Check out the following sequences...

* Started RM6
   Opened "Status"
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" button and received the balloon help.
   Closed RM6

* Started VMWare
   Started RM6
   Opened "Status"
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" button and "Status" window died.
   Closed RM6
   Closed VMWare

* Started RM6
   Opened "Status"
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" button and received the balloon help.
   Opened VMWare
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" button and received the balloon help.
   Opened second "Status" window
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" in "Status (2)" and "Status (2)" died.
   Moved mouse over "Select Module" in "Status" and received the balloon
help.

Whatever random thing is going on seems to be activated by the problem
window, in this case VMWare, and doesn't seem to affect already running
windows.

Would you want me try to capture some debugging information while going
through this sequence? Would that help at all?
