Description Shane O'Connor 2002-08-28 14:28:01 UTC 
To Recreate
=============
Select and hold mouse pointer over "Applications:Help" unil tooltip appears
Now click and drag Help to desktop to create a new desktop launcher
The result is that the Help tooltip remains until you click on another
menu.

A fix for this would be very nice for 2.0.2 if we have any idea how to
fix it in time.

Mark: This patch is basically a workaround in the panel. The tooltips
must disappear once the drag starts, and atm there seems to be no
support for dnd signals in gtktooltips. Probably a spearate gtk+ bug
has to be raised
Comment 5 Arvind S N 2002-08-30 06:21:08 UTC 
Just created a gtk+ bug.

Thanks arvind. Committed the patch, although it does look like it
might be a gtk+ bug so I've left a big fixme around the workaround
indicating that ...
Comment 10 Shane O'Connor 2002-09-24 15:37:11 UTC 
still present in sun's beta2 build9 - cvs 17th sept.
Comment 11 Arvind S N 2002-09-25 03:25:12 UTC 
Shane: The fix is in HEAD and gnome-2-0 branch. Since we are using 
the multihead branch for panel, I guess we need to wait till Mark does
a merge.
Comment 12 Mark McLoughlin 2002-09-25 03:39:55 UTC 
I'll prolly do one friday ..

This bug (or some variant of it) is still present in 2.11.92.

1. Open System and hover "Help" until you get a tooltip.
2. Drag it to the desktop, but don't release it.
3. Note the tooltip popping up after 2 seconds.

The tooltip stays as a desktop-modal box forever, unless you provoke another
tooltip somewhere else.
Comment 15 Vincent Untz 2005-09-18 08:06:08 UTC 
Vidar: this has been reopened as bug #311935.
