The fix is only for the page number (the same information on the status bar control showing "Page N/N") displayed near the scroll bar; that is, only for the bug description: "Allow disabling of tooltip on mousewheel scroll". Tips displayed the mouse pointer is over the document content are already handled in an undocumented way, see bug https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120300 There is already a property named "PreventHelpTips", I plan to rename it to "ShowContentTips" because it describes better what it does: --- a/main/offapi/com/sun/star/text/ViewSettings.idl +++ b/main/offapi/com/sun/star/text/ViewSettings.idl @@ -349,6 +349,13 @@ published service ViewSettings @since OOo 3.1 */ [optional, property] long VerticalRulerMetric; + //------------------------------------------------------------------------- + /** If this property is <TRUE/>, tips for document content are shown, + typically in a help balloon when the mouse is over the content. + + @since Apache OpenOffice 3.5 + */ + [optional, property] boolean ShowContentTips; }; In short, there will be two separated options: - scroll bar tips - document content tips > When the problem arise on the forums, I always recommend the > workaround on Comment 9. The workaround is a little drastic, it will turn off all help tips. With the proposed solution there are separate settings. Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
