Tooltip for row/column resize isn't positioned properly if sheet is scrolled
Last modified: 2009-04-28 14:29:50 UTC
when you change the height of a row by clicking on the boundary between the row numbers, a little window(tooltip?) appears showing info about the height of the row: "Height: 12.75 pts (17 pixels)" if row 1 is currently displayed, the info shows above the row being modified. as you scroll down, row by row, the info window slowly moves down the screen, away from the row you're modifying, until eventually it doesn't even show up. i'll attach a screenshot, in case this isn't clear.

To be exact the tool tip appears in the correct location _if the sheet had not been scolled_! Clearly we are forgetting to adjust for the required offset due to the scrolled window.
Undoubtedly caused by me, :-/ In my defense, the tip wasn't positioned right with the old code either, if you were fast (or the machine slow).
Same problem for columns, not surprisingly.
Some problem for hyperlink tips. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
looks good to me (rows & columns) i'm not familiar with the hyperlink problem
