Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 74), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-11 11:00, hash: d663048696
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
The tooltip when hovering over the Corner Pin widget is identical to the one when hovering over the vector inputs, "Input value for an unconnected socket." While accurate for the vector inputs, I don't think it is correct for the widget.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create a new default file;
Go to the compositor;
Enable nodes;
Add a viewer node (this allows you to resize and test different sizes for the Corner Pin Gizmo);
Add a Corner Pin node;
See the Corner Pin widget tooltip.

Gizmos seem to use the same tooltip as the property they control (see how RNA_property_ui_description is called in ui_tooltip_data_from_gizmo).

The main problem here is that node sockets don't have their own tooltips currently.

I imagine that this should be marked as Known Issue then.

I'm still not sure why socket properties always have the same description.
Maybe we could use the name of the property instead of the description? (But that would be a hack).

Yeah, I think this should be a Known Issue.

All sockets have the same description, because currently sockets do not know which node they belong to. It's just the way they are defined in RNA currenlty...
