Description Eugene V. Lyubimkin 2008-01-02 09:43:34 CET
This effect has shown itself after upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2.

Before, I could set mouse cursor to goody's borders, and leave it there for any time. Every small time period the tip was upgraded and reflected the new data.

Now, If I want the tip's data update, I need to move mouse cursor inside the goody's window borders.

P.S. I assigned bug to 'cpugraph', but regression appears in every goody in the panel.

It has been confirmed by a debian user (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458664) and I'd say the problem (if any) is in xfce4-panel.

Maybe it's the expected behavior, since tooltips aren't made to be displayed permently.

Cheers,

This behavior was introduced with GTK+2.12.  From that version, the user has to connect the widget to the signal "query-tooltip" and call gtk_widget_trigger_tooltip_query() in the corresponding callback in order to update the tooltip.  The old API GtkTooltips didn't provide gtk_widget_set_tooltip_ functions.  Now every widget can trigger a tooltip without a GtkTooltips group.

Apparently the drawback is that it breaks the old API.  Now wait and see until the developers update their code or that users send patches.

My 2 cents,
mike

I've changed the way tooltips work, and they should now be fine.
