[STR New] Link: http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2584 Version: 1.3-feature I tried Firefox and Tunderbird on Win7, and for me it looks like this: - tooltip stays forever, if the mouse is not moved - tooltip closes, if the mouse moves more than a few pixels from the origin, where the tooltip was triggered for the first time (you can move the mouse in a small circle as long as you like) - if it was closed, it doesn't reappear until the current widget is left and entered again - there are exceptions to the previous rule (sometimes it *does* come back again) I think these rules are generally reasonable. If you want to read a tooltip for a longer time, keep the mouse where it is. If you want to dismiss the tooltip, move the mouse again, but stay within the widget or area that is responsible for this particular tooltip. FLTK seems to close the tooltip only if the mouse moves at/over the tooltip window, but then it is opened again at another spot. I agree that this is not very useful. I believe that a simple timeout is not very user friendly. Either it's too long or too short, and changing it globally wouldn't help because there are longer and shorter tooltips, or you know them already after a while... Maybe we could implement something like the rules described above? I didn't look at the code, it's just my observation...
