Title: tooltip on file tab disappering very quickly
Post by: killerbot on June 23, 2013, 12:27:14 pm

Noticed this one last week, not sure how long it is there, but hovering over the editor tab show the filename/path.
But that tooltip disappears now so quickly one can't read the thing anymore.

CPU Speed?

It seems to work OK for me; but, I have a slow computer.

Windows 7 32 bit, 3.2 GHz, single CPU core.

happening on several linux boxes (opensuse 12.1 and 12.2), having it on latest on trunk (today that is rev 9162), but the problem is present already for at least 1 or 2 weeks (so could be much longer)

Works as expected here (fedora 18), I can test it on opensuse, but this will take some time, in a week or so.
I will not be at home next week and will not have time to test (and no internet, or at least jno fast internet) to install it.

Do the other tooltips (from toolbar, etc.) work correctly ?

Some questions:
1. Does it happen in a clean profile
2. Does it happen right after the start of C::B or does it take some time to trigger the problem
3. Does it happen with only core plugins

p.s. I've seen some problems with the tooltips where they disappear right after they've been shown, but I don't think I have a reproducer.  :-[  ::)

Do you use wx2.8 or 2.9 ?
If just 2.8, can you try it with 2.9 also ?

Does it happen if the mouse is not moved ?
Does it happen with all tabstyles ?
If you have chosen "Default" as style, does it also happen, with different gtk-styles on your system ?

It might be a broken TabHitTest(), but I don't know how this should happen, because it's also used to show the tooltip, or a broken mouse-motion event or a combination of both.
