Most applications put the tooltip below the mouse. The default for tooltip-y-offset in Emacs is -10, which puts it above the mouse.
It seems silly to allow nil as a value equivalent to -10, or 40. What benefit does that complexity provide? I see none. Does anyone else see a reason to keep this? It would be simpler to put the default value in the defcustom directly, and limit this variable to integers. I would like people to try setting the value to 40 and tell me what they think. I'd also suggest to make the tooltip face specify a font height of 75%. Would people please try that, too? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
