GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 460011
Tooltips don't disappear
Last modified: 2007-07-26 14:51:16 UTC
The tooltips in the notification area are exhibiting strange behaviour. They will appear when the mouse is already over another icon and often miss "mouse out" events causing them to stay in view until you mouse over the notification area again. The tooltips should appear quicker and disappear immediately when the mouse is no longer over the corresponding notification icon.

Can you check that the applications are using GtkStatusIcon? If yes, that's a GtkStatusIcon bug.
No, it was a bug in gtktooltip.c that I fixed today.
