I does too! I have however solution for it (which haven't caused a GPF...yet) Calling this instead of hint.showbuttonhel won't show the help when in different form or record. A second wait is just a test.

PROCEDURE show_hint IS

BEGIN
if name_in('system.mouse_form') = name_in('system.current_form') then

    if name_in('system.mouse_canvas') like 'TOOLBAR%' then

        hint.showbuttonhelp(1000);
    else

        if
get_block_property(name_in('system.trigger_block'),RECORDS_DISPLAYED) != '0' then

           if name_in('system.mouse_record') = name_in('system.trigger_record') then

		hint.showbuttonhelp(1000);
	   end if;
	else
		hint.showbuttonhelp(1000);
	end if;

    end if;
end if;
END;
