The issue seems to be that indicator icon information is not immediately available on mouseover.
Instead of a tooltip, why not just automatically open the menu on mouse- over, similar to KDE's panel menus in OpenSUSE? It would mean that any indicator icon automatically reveals its options and info on mouseover, and it doesn't require a tooltip. Mousing away could close the menu. That's a much different interaction than previously discussed, but it would also solve the "show status immediately" problem. -- please include status messages/tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527458 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
