If you mean to say that turning tooltips off would still display the tooltip text in the echo area, then I agree with Jason: that's a bug that should be fixed. It should be possible to have 1 of 3 situations wrt tooltips: (1) no tooltips and no messages in echo area (2) tooltip text is displayed in the echo area (3) tooltips are displayed as small floating windows > Normal tooltips and GUD tooltips have quite different internals and > putting their associated code in separate files was much more modular. > Previously if tooltip-use-echo-area was set to t so that normal tooltips > displayed there, then GUD tooltips would display there. Internals aside, from the user's point of view, if I want tooltip text to be displayed in the echo area, I want ALL tooltips to behave like that. Why in the world would I like these two variants of tips to behave differently? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
