Description Harold Aling 2007-12-02 12:57:57 CET 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071126 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: 

The new system tray panel applet has the ability to 'hide' user defined applications to save space.

After opening the list and moving away with the mouse, it would be cool if the applet would collapse itself again after a (given) timout.

A fine-tuned (sane default) timeout only has to be (re)configured through a hidden pref.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a collapsed systray
2.wait
3.nothing happens



Expected Results:  
1.open a collapsed systray
2.wait
3.the systray collapses itself after a timeout

It looks like this is not possible. I cannot monitor the mouse enter/leave events since the tray icons (sockets) have their own window.
Comment 3 haarp 2014-05-15 18:38:35 CEST 
What about just a timeout?
Comment 4 Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2020-05-27 11:44:39 CEST 
As Nick explained, this is technically not really possible.

Moreover I don't plan to invest time into the systray plugin (apart from trying to fix critical bugs).
