The hints are useless and the preferences don't work properly (setting them to Disabled causes URL hints to sometimes stay on screen until TB is restarted). What's wrong with classic Windows tooltips, which are: - small - unintrusive - don't steal mouse focus - disappear as soon as you move the mouse away These new hints in TB are anything but that. I know that somebody thought they were a great idea, but the way they're currently implemented they are a serious annoyance - they cover way too much text, they don't disappear when the mouse leaves the area that triggered them, and worst of all, if I happen to move my mouse over the hint and then try to scroll with my mouse wheel, the text in the hint will be scrolled instead of the window it's covering. These hints are a usability nightmare, and if they stay in like this in the final version I will have to look for another e-mail client (yes, they're annoying enough that they destroy all of the advantages TB has). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > [ The Bat! 5.0.0.126 BETA on Windows 7 6.1.7600. ] If you assign N persons to write a compiler you'll get a N-1 pass compiler. -- Conway's Law #1 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.0.126 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
