Disable Tooltips in CrystalReport.Net

CR.Net new features..."Disable Tooltips Option"
http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/teams/crystalreports/whatsnew/default.aspx
It's finally solved in v.2k5...

Background of the Stupid CR Tooltips:
By Default, CR provides tooltips which explose the attributes (field names, data types, etc) of objects on the report.
The coolest part is, it CANNOT be disabled.
The only workarounds are:
1) Overriding the tooltip texts via COM
2) Assigning dummy text( a.k.a. the chr(9) approach) for each fields in each reports at design time.

It's frustrating :(
