Further debugging reveals that as you do a adept update on the sources, the tooltip works and then is overridden again. The offending line is 125. See below code snippit:
def aptDirectoryChanged(self, path=None): """ check for updates, if there are any show the tray icon """ metaRelease = MetaReleaseCore() while metaRelease.downloading: time.sleep(1) self.new_dist = metaRelease.new_dist self.trayToolTip = "" The self.trayToolTip = "" resets the tooltip to empty again after it properly displays the tooltip on the first detection. I suspect that this should go into some if/then check or be pulled into the init method. Will need some testing. -- update notifier doesn't list how many packages needs updating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282676 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
