I think I know what you are talking about. I deal with mostly one window apps and I see this as well. If the cursor passes over a toolbar icon (which has a tooltip) and stops on another widget (say Fl_Scroll), the tooltip for that toolbar icon will show and then disappear once the mouse moves again. I am using FLTK 1.3 r6365 with STR#2041 (FL_TOOLTIP event patch - <http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2041>). Should the tooltip appear if the mouse is moving slowly over the widget? I ask because I have a rather big button on one app. If I move the mouse slowly across it, its tooltip still appears. I wonder if this two are related? -- Alvin _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
