Description Jakob Petsovits 2004-11-11 10:06:31 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) 
OS:                Linux

Some HTML pages have elements (links, tables, etc) that pop up tooltips when you point the mouse over them. Konqueror doesn't seem to display them correctly until all open pages have been loaded completely.

Example: packages.gentoo.org contains links to packages on the left of the page. Every link brings up a tooltip. Now if the page has not finished loading and you try to point the mouse over such a link, you'll either get no tooltip or the tooltip only displayed very shortly. If the page has finished loading, every tooltip shows up like expected.

This is also the case if not the page with the tooltips is loading, but other pages (for example in other tabs) are. As far as I can see, this issue comes up whenever the font of any tab is painted white (saying it's not yet loaded completely).

As I prefer tab browsing, this is a major drawback, because the more pages you load, the less is the chance to get your tooltips.

Why is this bug "UNCONFIRMED"? I have been ignoring this but the problem exists since the first version of Konqueror that I worked with (3.0) and it remains even in 3.4. I have been using KDE that is built in Red Hat Linux 7.3, 9.0, Fedora Core 3 and 3.4's RPMs for Fedora. Maybe your internet connection is too fast so that you cannot see partially loaded pages? How else this problem couldn't be seen if it happens in all KDE versions in all systems? If you need an examples of webpages where such an effect is seen I can provide you few links (unfortunely, with russian text). Not all the users have fast connections, I have 14 kbits/sec so I cannot view tooltips for a prolonged period of loading.

I can reproduce on mediawiki.org and digg.com (haven't tried others) with KDE 3.5.4 on SUSE Linux 10.1.

confirmed

The Gentoo Packages site and Digg don't appear to currently have any title attributes. Using Konqueror 4.0.3 with http://flickr.com/explore/interesting/2008/03/ I don't see this bug. Do any sites still show this behaviour?

I wrote a little PHP script which simulates a slow page, the title will display during loading:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>

<h1 title="this has a title">Page Title</h1>

<?php
flush();
sleep(15);
?>

<p>Rest of page</p>

</body>
</html>

Using the script I can confirm that this problem seems to be solved in trunk r795901. On 3.5.9 I can see see the tooltips show but they disappear after a split-second.
Comment 6 Michael Leupold 2008-04-21 10:32:31 UTC
As this bug is fixed in recent releases it's being closed. Setting it to LATER because it does qualify for backporting to the 3.x branch.
