>From the first comments in the bug filed upstream in compiz it seems that they think the window manager is not responsible for the behaviour of tooltips (http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1232#c1):
... Tooltips are override_redirect windows, which means that the window manager doesn't touch them at all and the application is _completely_ responsible for that kind of window, which includes showing, hiding, moving and resizing as well as focus. ... override_redirect windows (not only tooltips, but also menus etc.) are completely managed by the application; it's neither the WM's job to deal with them nor is the WM allowed to do so. -- tooltips stick when they shouldn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356702 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
