Description Nick Jenkins 2009-10-16 00:52:51 UTC
Currently when there is a blue hyperlink when composing a mail, or viewing a task/memo/etc, it can be opened by CTRL-clicking on it. However, this behavior is not easily discoverable by users. To aid discoverability, a tooltip could be added on these links, saying something like "Ctrl-click to open link".

evo patch

for evolution;

This is for all but composer. Let it be our secret about the composer, as it isn't ready for such thing there.

I fixed two other things as well:
 - offset of -1 for url detection (if a space is at the end of it)
 - mouse cursor changes only if the widget is focused (it has issues detecting
   Ctrl up event when the widget isn't focused)
