Description Sebastien Bacher 2007-08-06 08:34:46 UTC 
The bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/129679

"Binary package hint: gnome-panel

There should be no tooltip for the menu categories for several reasons:

- the categories are selfexplanatory and therefore do not need an extra tooltip sayin almost the same (e.g.: tooltip for graphics: "graphics applications", duh! I am at applications -> graphics.

- They are shown either under the submenu that is opened by hovering over the category, making them unreadable, or on top of it, partly hiding items of the submenu."
