Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10, I've noticed that the tooltips in
the workspace switcher that show the name of the selected window ("Click
to start dragging ...") will sometimes not go away. It seems to happen
most if I use the mouse to click on a different screen in the switcher,
then move my mouse right away (but not RIGHT away--just about the time
it normally takes me to move my mouse away, apparently) out of the
switcher into the normal desktop.
In that case the tooltip that the switcher pops up does not go away
again: it's like some event was missed or something. The tooltip will
stay there forever until I (a) switch to another desktop with CTRL-
ALT-<arrow> or similar, or (b) move my mouse over either the upper or
lower panel (any part of it). Just selecting a different window on the
same screen doesn't cause the tooltip to go away.
It's very frustrating because it happens probably 80% of the time that I
use my mouse to choose a different screen, and I have my screens
organized by work activity and I'm often switching back and forth.
It sounds minor but it's extremely annoying to have these yellow
tooltips showing up and not going away unless I go do something.
If anyone has any suggestions about ways I could narrow down the
problem, etc. I'm intereested!!
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64bit, with Workspace Switcher 2.28.0.
