Tooltip windows are override_redirect type windows according to the EWMH spec: _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLTIP indicates that the window in question is a tooltip, ie., a short piece of explanatory text that typically appear after the mouse cursor hovers over an object for a while. This property is typically used on override-redirect windows.
We aren't allowed to do anything to override_redirect windows so we have no idea what viewport they should be on, thus they are shown on all of them. Relevant bit from the ICCCM spec: The user will not be able to move, resize, restack, or transfer the input focus to override-redirect windows, since the window manager is not managing them. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- Tooltip visible on all workspaces when using Cube https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
