So you are actually asking for a new feature, whereby the tooltips are
not shown at all, is that right?
No. I think, I'm asking for the echo area to be readable when text
is there.
Then I don't understand what you wanted to say by this part:
I had tooltip-mode set nil. I didn't expect the echo area to
contain the tooltip. There was text in the echo area and I couldn't
get the modeline context menu out of the way to read it.
This seems to mean that you don't want the tooltip text to be
displayed in the echo area. But if it isn't displayed in the echo
area, where do you want it to be displayed?
When I've disabled the text associated with the tooltip by
setting tooltip-mode to nil, I assumed I wouldn't have reached this
point where I have to ask for the tooltip text not to show.
The doc string of tooltip-mode says, among other things:
When Tooltip mode is disabled, Emacs displays help text in the
echo area, instead of making a pop-up window.
