Description Alexandre Pereira 2010-01-26 04:14:16 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

hi.

i am using rekonq , and its weird that the tooltips popup instantly.

would be great if tab previews and other popups would appear after a short timeout , like in other kde app's tooltips (like dolphin, kopete , etc )

thanks :)

sounds like a good idea... I guess this shouldn't be hard to implement (careful: this came out the mouth of a non-developer :-P)
Dolphin uses a 200ms delay, maybe this value could be used for rekonq as well. 

Iori what do you think?

Comment 2 Alexandre Pereira 2010-02-12 00:28:32 UTC

well, i dunno if there is a global "timout" tooltip in kde.

if not , then hardcode it to 200 ms , like other apps :)

sounds good :)

imho this should be fixed for the 0.5 release, because moving the mouse from right to left, where the tabs are, can sometimes cause rekonq to freeze, since it is trying to show the tab previews.

Adding a short delay would prevent this. :-)

Well, this is not only about preview delay, but what annoys me is the instant tooltip in the lower corner that appears when hovering on every link. And I voted for this bug because I had hope this one would address this issue. Should I file a new bug?

@ Christoph

I guess this would be a good idea. :-)

I never heard that "apps" use a default delay (what for?) of 200 ms.

Anyway... about the "url pop-ups" (left-bottom) I don't think this is a good idea. When in the page there are links one near the other (and they usually are: menus, lists and so on), a delay can lead to errors (click link n reading yes url n-1. Or n-2..). 
Lionel and me tested a lot this and noticed it's really easy do some errors with some delay. And fast deleting the previous url on mouse moving + delaying next seems.. not natural. And implies different movement of the mouse to see all links. 
Moreover, the url pop-up is implemented to be the less intrusive that's possible. I don't think this is so weird. And just noticed that firefox or chrome have no delays about.

about the tab preview, probably a delay can be implemented. Tabs are usually bigger than links and browsed horizontally.

200 ms of delay showing tab previews.
    @Christoph                                                                                                                            
Feel free to open a new bug against the link delays, explaining why 
you think it's important.
We'll be happy to debate a bit about it, again :)
