currently, gtk2's tooltips code handles scroll events entirely differently to button and key press events. even though one can connect to the "query-notify" signal to get rid of a tooltip when a scroll event happens, the tooltip will reappear shortly thereafter. i haven't looked by i'm guessing that gtk3 code looks pretty similar.
this is pretty problematic for widgets that want to use scroll events internally - they will basically display a tooltip for a substantial part of the time that a pointer is within their bounds. the tooltip won't really vanish until the user actually generates a key press or button press event. there are complicated patches for this, and there's a simple patch: treat a scroll event equivalently to a button/key press/release. does anyone know of a good reason not to do this? _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
