Description Herman Bloggs 2002-12-31 16:45:55 UTC 
After getting a widget's tooltip, quickly moving the mouse pointer out of 
the gtk window will sometimes cause the tooltip to remain.  Is still the 
case as of 2.0.9

tooltip app
Comment 2 Moses Lei 2003-05-19 19:14:04 UTC 
I'm seeing this a lot with WinGaim (http://gaim.sf.net) and dropline
GTK. Since every item in the Buddy List has a tooltip, it is a common
occurence for a tooltip to remain after focus has shifted away from
the GTK window. To reproduce:

1. Pull up a tooltip in your GTK window.
2. Quickly focus a non-GTK application.

Actually, you don't even need to wait for the tooltip to pull up. If
you hover over a buddy in Gaim's buddy list and then focus a non-GTK
app, the tooltip will pop up at the location of the mouse pointer
(which has no relation to the origin of the tooltip) and remain on
top, until you focus a GTK window once again.

this happens CONSTANTLY. the program i always notice them
hovering over is mozilla. don't know if that's relevant or
not. it's very weird and annoying, just seems kind of
invasive when random people's buddy info from your buddy
list pops up over a webpage.

Any headway on this bug?
Comment 5 Hans Breuer 2003-08-07 15:12:17 UTC 
fixed in HEAD

2003-08-07  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

	* gdk/win32/gdkevents-win32.c : finally use TrackMouseEvent
	(only if the new window not known to Gdk) to get proper
	leave notification, and get rid of the wrong placed 
	tooltips, bug #102283
 
	(gdk_event_translate) : small code reordering to not get
	GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY for still mouse and get back tooltips on 
	menus, bug #117367
