Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this, as it continues to cause problems. It seems to be an Enlightenment-only problem, as i've checked it doesn't happen with Gnome or Plasma.
As far as i can tell, what's happening is: - after a mouse-over/hover, a tooltip pops up. - E sees this as a new window, sets focus to the new window - the cursor changes to E's cursor - focus is lost from the underlying window, so the element that previously had a mouse-over event no longer does - tooltip closes due to above - focus reverts to the original window - cursor changes back to what the application in that window previously had it set to. - depending on the application, and any cursor movement, this sometimes triggers the first point again, starting a loop. > Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2023 12:31:27 -0500 > From: Conrad Knight <iestynap...@gmail.com> > Subject: [e-users] tooltip problems > I've recently started having trouble with tooltips displayed by > applications under Enlightenment.
