Version: 1.1 (using KDE KDE 3.1.94) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.0-test11 When a tooltip comes up, it often completely covers the button it is providing help for, especially if the kicker is set to "tiny" size. It would be nice to be able to click right through the tooltip the button underneath it. Also, if the kicker is set to hide immediately, the tooltips are sometimes left hanging in the air for quite a long time. Also, there are often multiple tooltips popping up at once obscuring one in front of another.
The same behavior with 3.2 final on Mandrake. Most of times there are several tooltips appearing at the same time when moving mouse over only _one_ systray icon. They remain visible for too long time (is it somehow configurable?) covering each other. In this case it completely not helpful to have them showing.
After upgrading to 3.2.1 the behavior is much better. I only see one tooltip at a time and they get out of the way of the mouse. Very nice :o)
I find that if kicker has been active (that is, if I have been using it) then the tooltips work quite well. The problem seems to be when kicker has been hidden for a while and not used. In those cases (sometimes, I can hear the drive working, so it may be that some part of kicker is being swapped back in) the tooltips are much more erratic, and often troublesome.
Well, kde3.3.0 here, and it still pops up all tooltips in systray upon touching a single icon (even though I've turned tooltips off in control centre). the annoying thing is they stay so long, and I have like 1 or 2 pixels left to try to hit juk or kontact icon to bring up those apps, and sometimes the tips stay there for a looong time. Also, the kopete tooltip is so big, listing all the protocols I'm connected to. There should be a delay before the tooltip appears, so I can just klick that maily E
the remaining issue involves the systray. we already have such a BR =) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71201 ***
