GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 681957
Contact tooltip is partially offscreen with multiple monitors
Last modified: 2018-05-22 15:40:18 UTC
I have two monitors side by side. My contact list is on the rightmost edge of the leftmost monitor. You know how GtkTreeView tooltips have this behavior: 1. If you move to a row, the tooltip waits for a little timeout before appearing. 2. If you then move to other rows while the tooltip is displayed, the new tooltip appears almost immediately. This works well, but in the Empathy contact list this happens: 1. When I first move to a row, the tooltip for the contact (that displays the contact's details) appears correctly, within the monitor's bounds. 2. But if then move to another contact while the first tooltip is displayed, then the tooltip get cut across both monitors. If I move outside the contacts treeview and back in between (1) and (2), then the second tooltip appears correctly within the first monitor's bounds.
Thanks for your bug report. I'd be interested to know how this works with you with Empathy 3.5/3.6. The contact list has been rewritten and doesn't use a GtkTreeView any more so this behaviour changed as well.
Federico: Still an issue in a recent version? See comment 1
