Description nos 2004-04-07 10:50:48 UTC 
This is a request to add tooltips showing the full newsgroup name
when hovering the mouse over a group in the group pane.
Would be useful especially when one has enabled the "Abbreviate Names in Group
Pane", or the Group is partially hidden due to another pane.

I'd like this too, but I'm not sure Gtk supports individual tooltips for tree
rows.  Charles, any idea?
Comment 2 Charles Kerr 2006-05-04 17:32:16 UTC 
GtkTreeView does _not_ support individual tooltips for rows or cells.
Comment 3 Charles Kerr 2007-02-06 12:29:11 UTC 
According to Bug #80980, GtkTreeView tooltips are now in gtk+ trunk.
IMO the tooltip should be the full group name + description.

Searching for "tooltips" got me here as my RFE is very much related.  I would like to suggest tooltips for the following:

1.  All text which is abbreviated (e.g., groups in the Groups Panel).

2.  Any column or field which gets cut off from displaying in full (e.g., Headers Panel where an article's Subject gets cut off by the Score to its right).

3.  The existing toolbar at the top already have tooltips for most icons.  The Broom in Group Name, Magnifying Glass and Broom in the Search Field should also have tooltips.
