Description Joachim Noreiko 2007-03-09 13:03:23 UTC 
I move my mouse to the workspace switcher.
The tooltip appears.
I right-click. The popup context menu appears.
The tooltip immediately reappears over it. (Most of the time. About 1 out of 10 times, it doesn't.)

This makes it hard to see the 'Lock to panel' item.

Are you using ubuntu? There's no tooltip upstream, and Ubuntu has a patch for it...
Comment 2 Joachim Noreiko 2007-03-09 13:59:27 UTC 
Yes, Ubuntu Edgy.

However, I'm not seeing this behaviour on any other panel objects.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2007-03-09 15:21:22 UTC 
There's no tooltip in GNOME. Ubuntu is using a patch for the tooltip, so that's an Ubuntu bug.
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2007-03-09 15:22:37 UTC 
Also, bug 125644 contains patches to add this in GNOME, but the reason they were not committed is that there are some issues with them.
Comment 5 Joachim Noreiko 2007-03-09 16:22:34 UTC 
This is just the "Workspace Switcher" tooltip.

Man, I hate the distro model.
