I've just generally tried to avoid having a lot of that type of tooltip type popup stuff, having too much of it can tend to get in the way of actually seeing and working on the model itself...

The other issue is that currently the values that you see in the top level UI are just a quick approximation anyway - when you click on it to drop down the more detailed panel right now, it does a more intensive calculation for determining the bounds of the object and on complex objects that can be somewhat time consuming. It can be problematic to trigger time consuming processes too easily.
