GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 123323
Persistent tooltips
Last modified: 2004-12-23 14:13:45 UTC
I am not sure how I do it, but it has happened twice so far. At some point a launcher tooltip gets "stuck", and it does not disappear after a timeout as it should. While the tooltip is stuck, the other launchers don't show any tips. However, if I click on a launcher, the "stuck" tooltip disappears and I get a proper tooltip for the launcher I clicked on. Unfortunately, this tooltip also is stuck, so there doesn't seem to be a way to get rid of the problem once it happens. This is from a gnome-2-4 CVS build from a couple weeks ago, toplevel ChangeLog is version 1.586.
Mark: can it be a gnome-panel bug? I don't think we're doing anything special with tooltips. So might this be a gtk+ bug?
I've seen this in epiphany too. It's not easily reproducable, though...
The likely reason for this problem is explained in bug 92085 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92085 ***
