Ticket #9 (closed Defect: fixed)

Opened 1 year ago

The balloon tooltip behaves oddly.

Reported by: Didactylos Assigned to: romw
Priority: Blocker Milestone: 6.2
Component: Manager Version:
Keywords: patch tooltip Cc: Didactylos

Description

(Windows only) It actually behaves perfectly normally for a balloon message, but since it is being used to provide tooltip information, it behaves strangely. It doesn't appear when you mouseover, instead it pops up a second after you mouse out. It then hangs around (in the way) for several seconds or until you kill it.

Suggest it be replaced with a regular tooltip, and the balloons be saved for error conditions.

When this bug was fixed, some bugs were introduced because my patch wasn't applied completely. I have provided another patch, fixing the parts that were overlooked. These are:

  • Title omitted.
  • Trailing line breaks.
  • Overflow caused by too many running tasks.
  • Suspended icon flashes because it was updated to use the wrong icon.

All these bugs are fixed in my patch (AND in my original patch!)
