I can see from Mark's view that there needs to be an alternative to tooltips on tablets. However, at the moment such devices are 'toys'. In comparison to traditional laptops/desktops they are not as good for getting work done (depending on the work). This will probably change as they mature many years down the track, and you never know - getting work done may end up being more productive on a tablet, and who knows, games might evolve to become more enjoyable on tablets. The world of tablets may be the end of tooltips.
But this is the present, and most people use desktops/laptops for work (and will for quite some time). A separate release for tablets could safely remove tooltips, but they serve an important role in desktop/laptop environments. I can also see that to develop a tablet version of Ubuntu will be tricky because of the small userbase - perhaps that is why some 'experiments' are appearing in desktop versions of Ubuntu? This post is obviously a stab in the dark, but none of Mark's posts have provided any solid justification for removing tooltips. Guessing there may be a hidden agenda there :) -- please include status messages/tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
