[MessageTray] don't time out the tray if the user is mousing towards it (1.93 KB, patch)

Description William Jon McCann 2010-02-16 05:54:29 UTC 
It is frustrating when mousing down to banner notification and it goes away.  Having the notification withdraw from you seems like it is contrary to the experience we'd like to provide.

Two ideas that we've kicked around IRC for a while.

 * Extend the timeout period if the user is moving the mouse toward the banner.
 * Show the banner again if the mouse is moved to the bottom center of the screen a short time after the banner has been removed.

Or maybe a combination of the two...

[MessageTray] don't time out the tray if the user is mousing towards it

If a notification is about to hide, but the user has moved the mouse
towards it, let it stick around for another second (and so on, until
the mouse either reaches the tray and causes it to be pinned, or stops
moving the mouse toward it).


I think the second idea is unnecessary given that you can recover the
notification from the summary area now
