I don't see it. gtk3, gtk2, firefox. chrome. click to focus or most recent window focus in e... tooltips show up fine and stay there. e won't be trying to focus them as they will be override-redirect windows bypassing the wm window management - they just get composited. i'm wondering if this is theme related with CSD + oversized gtk windows for the tooltips that render a shadow as part of the tooltip? can you change gtk theme to something without shadows? so it might be that it isn't focus loss but the app gets a mouse out event on its window because mouse went INTO the tooltip window which s bigger than it looks? > Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this, as it continues to > cause problems.
