Ben Opp <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #22 from Ben Opp <[email protected]> --- Just wanted to chime in because I'm not entirely sure it's been explicitly mentioned so far. " What exactly is the problem if the tooltip appears when you hover any part of the row? *why* is it annoying? Is it because it covers up something else that you would want to look at or click on?" Yes, it covers *the exact file name that I'm hovering over*, which brought me to this bug, but the discussion seems to revolve mostly around the size of the tooltip. I'm guess it's rather about the combination of its size and the *position*. While I do find the tooltip pretty oversized in some instances, that's mostly okay because it's not always covering something I want to see. Trying to point at various things in Dolphin, the tooltip is sometimes positioned above, sometimes below the mouse pointer. The above-positioned tooltip never seems to cover the file name I'm pointing at, only if the intended position is below AND it's too big to display completely in that space. However, that is a case that happens a lot for me, because I tend to position the thing that I'm working on roughly in the middle of the screen's y-axis - and that's the area where Dolphin typically wants to display the tooltip *below* the mouse pointer. When it's too big to fit there (quite often), Dolphin apparently moves it up a bit, showing the entire tooltip, and covering the file that I was hovering over and wanted to click. That means, for all the files in that area of screen, you have to be very quick to click them and mustn't pause to hover over them first, because you will be thwarted by that tooltip. That is what's annoying. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
