GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 78328
applet tooltips remains visible after drag
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Float the mouse over the drivemount applet long enough for a tooltip to appear. Using the left mouse button, begin a drag. Drop the drive image anywhere; it doesn't seem to matter whether the drop is accepted or not. Observe that the tooltip is still visible, and will remain visible indefinitely.
Version details: this bug is observed using gnome-applets2-1.98.0.0.200204090422-0.snap.ximian.1, installed via Ximian's Red Carpet.
There is a similar problem with the workspace switcher (and probably some other applets?): Drag the workspace switcher via middle mouse button after tooltip appeared. Release the mousebutton above desktop and tooltip won't disappear. For other applets like the Disk Mounter, the tooltip disappears as soon as I press the middle mouse button.
I can reproduce this with the workspace switcher, but not with disk mounter
*** Bug 103270 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Moving to gnome-panel, since it's probably the source of the problem
Seems fixed in 2.3.x.
