Description Maciej Pilichowski 2008-02-23 19:56:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I guess this feature is useful for some people so please make it configurable.

For me it is just a distraction, all info I need is presented in pane so I don't need animated repetition of something I already see. It would be more "smooth" (for me) if I could just move cursor. Thank you.

I agree.

Good thing is that the tooltips are currently broken in the KDE4 version and is  completely disabled there :)

Comment 2 Julian Mehnle 2008-05-15 15:38:02 UTC

I agree that this should be made optional.  I hate it.

Comment 4 Christian Zangl 2009-02-16 10:03:36 UTC

I'd also like to see an option to disable this feature.

Strangely it is possible to diable the tooltips for the message list but not for the folder tree.

Starting with KMail from the KDE 4.2 release, you  now have the options:
always show tooltips; never show tooltips; only show tooltips with the folder name is obscured.

This configuration option can be found in the context menu of the Folder column header.  You will not find it in the KMail->Settings configuration dialog.

So closing this.

Comment 6 Maciej Pilichowski 2009-02-16 14:34:12 UTC

Allen thank you for the fix, however this should be in settings, because other tooltips options are there. What should I do -- another report or reopening this one as a wish (*)?

Comment 7 Allen Winter 2009-02-16 14:49:03 UTC

yes, please open another bug.

perhaps a Folder tab under the Appearance page makes some sense. Not sure.

Comment 8 Maciej Pilichowski 2009-02-16 15:23:39 UTC

Ok, done:
