Description Manuel Op de Coul 2003-07-14 08:14:18 UTC 
Tooltips on menu items appear and disappear almost invisibly quickly.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2003-07-14 20:33:50 UTC 
- Can you provide a test case?
- Do you know if this is actually win32 specific?

(Tooltips on menu items are a known to be a little bit
buggy - see also bug 82373. They are also quite 
arguably a bad idea from a user-interface point of 
view.)
Comment 2 Manuel Op de Coul 2003-07-15 07:51:20 UTC 
This bug was reported so often, so it seems people like them.


Many of my menu items are identical to command line command names,


which benefit from a little hint.


But I have an option in my program to switch them off.

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
Comment 4 Tor Lillqvist 2003-08-07 22:26:26 UTC 
Fix merged into gtk-2-2, too.
