Hi, I've solved the issue! :-) :-) :-)

This happened because a frame laid BEHIND the widgets. After put the widgets IN the frame (or better in a fixed container in the frame) the tooltips working as expected. It was very interesting to put the frame above the widgets - no widgets are shown but the tooltips appearing fine without a targeted search which gives me the hint that now the events for showing a tooltip are generated in the areas not at the borders like before. This brought me to the idea to put the widgets in a fixed container in a frame <= works perfect. ;-) > Outside, in the top level script (testem.pl) it works fine - you > can hoover inside the widget area around without the tooltip > disppears.

This behaviour resulted in the fact that I created gtk main in the script and not in the class. > For Gtk2::Tooltip I've found an example (in gmusicbrowser) for > set_tooltip_area and how that works ^^ And this implementation I am using now. > But the same behavior as with Tooltips - with the default > set_tooltip_text tooltips only around the widget border > > With the query_tooltip signal, too :-( This issue was fixed with the two changes above ^^ > Probably I must use a window tooltip described here: > https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/GTK2-Perl/Recipes#How_can_I_programmatically_popup_a_tooltip_.3F This worked but I run in the issue that I can't get from all widgets the real size information. Ok, now I know it but I'm using Gtk2::Tooltip and this solution is outdated now :-P > I will make some other tests if this issue with the tooltips > showing only around the border depending on the fixed container > I put the widget in. With a modified fixed example from the old Gtk1 tutorial I was able to confirm that Gtk2::Tooltip works fine in a fixed container.
