Description Magnus Boman 2009-02-12 02:20:04 UTC 
My panel is configured to be at the bottom on the screen. Sometimes, the tooltip shows up at the upper left corner of the screen.

Reproducible by;

1. Have a panel with the intlclock on the bottom screen
2. Move mouse over intlclock (tooltip correctly shows up at the bottom where the mouse cursor is)
3. Click on intlclock (tooltip shows up at the upper left corner)

See http://coolice.org/notify-issue.png

Btw; This happens with other apps as well (evolution for instance), hence logging the bug against gtk

Should be fixed by this commit, I think

        Bug 538439 – tooltip may appear in upper left corner instead of
        over widget

        * gtk/gtktooltip.c (gtk_tooltip_trigger_query): Set the root
        coordinates in the event correctly. Patch by Kristian Rietveld.


Do you have that in your build ?

I did not have this patch. After rebuilding with it, tooltip is back to normal. thanks :-)
