Hi,
A few tooltips issues:
1) Graphics dialog.
The tooltips for the Graphics dialog work well, as long as I do not
move the Graphics dialog somewhere else on my display.
After moving the dialog, the tooltips text keeps popping up as if
the dialog had not been moved; so, when the dialog is moved to other
end of the display, the tooltip text appears far away from the dialog.
This is an error, but I don't know its origin;
the tooltips for the BibTeX dialog don't behave this way.
So either tooltips are wrongly coded into the Graphics dialog
or tooltips don't work properly with tabbed dialogs.
Does anybody know about this?
(I'm using Xforms 1.0).
2) Preferences dialog.
If tabbed dialogs have trouble with tooltips, then forget about
this remark; however if they don't, then I suggest to remove
the help text area in the preferences dialog, and change that
into tooltip texts.
3) src/frontends/xforms/Tooltips.[Ch]
I was wondering if these files (or others) should be moved up in the tree
and then shared by the other frontends.
Ideally, the tooltip texts should be shared/same in each frontend, assuming
my (controversial) issue that each frontend should basically do and look
the same, from the user point of view that is.
4) Why do many (xforms) dialogs not have tooltips yet? Is it only a matter
of "not yet coded", or are there other reasons why to wait with expanding
the tooltips facility.
Regards,
Rob.
