>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 compiz packagers, which is a direct subscriber. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
