jQuery UI tooltip won't close when using dynamic content

Here is my code to simulate an ajax call to fetch the tooltip content:

$(document).tooltip({
    items: 'a',
    content: function(result) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            result('foo');
        }, 500);
    }
});

If you move the mouse on and away from the link several times, it will sooner or later get to a point where the tooltip doesn't close, even though the mouse isn't hovering the link.

Any ideas what might be causing it or how to solve it?

I've had this issue before where moving the mouseover the link causes the event to fire each time and stacks them up in the background. I solved the issue with the hoverIntent plugin which would only fire the event if the user waited on the link for a specified amount of time.

You can do the same in Tooltip by adding in a delay on the show event which does the same thing:

$(document).tooltip({
    items: 'a',
    content: function(result) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            result('foo');
        }, 500);
    },
    show: {
        delay: 250
      }
});
