GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 331745
tooltip behavior broken and aggressive
Last modified: 2009-03-26 04:19:39 UTC
a) Day View. Click on any appointment. A cursor appears and the "handle bars", and you can edit the appointment. b) Now move the mouse slightly out of the appointment and inside again. c) Wait like about half a second. d) The cursor disappears, you can not edit the appointment any longer. Hovering and sliding tooltip appears. Looks like the tooltip is the culprit, that interrupts in the editing. Note: Due to (c) you are able to move the mouse over the appointment, and *quickly* start typing. This will prohibit the tooltip from annoying me. This really looks, like the tooltip is broken. It must not appear (and interrupt the editing), while editing is in progress.
tried to reproduce it, after (c) i can still edit the appointment, i just have to enter the first letter of my changes to the appointment summary twice. (after the first time, the tooltip disappears, the second time it adds the letter correctly to the appointment summary). so i cannot really confirm this, but otherwise you're correct. adding srini to cc.
to simplify, tooltip shouldnt be visible in Edit mode? Im not sure about this. You can just start typing and it will continue, isnt it?. It happens since you move the cursor in and out.
you can just start typing and it will ignore the first character, but then it will continue, yes.
Bumping version to a stable release.
It is working fine in 2.25.91. Can you please try out in later version and report back, thanks.
