Thanks Jenny. My annoyance at the feature is exacerbated by the fact that I tend to work in a split screen mode. Legacy is effectively only half the width of the monitor screen and the other half is devoted to various research windows outside of the Legacy program, browsers, documents, pictures, etc. (this works well with large monitors in excess of 24") While working on any given person, I am doing the majority of additional work either adding new events or modifying existing events thus the reason for the mouse constantly hovering in that area. I don't remember this being a feature in v7.5 and I don't recall this being mentioned in any "what's new" text about v8.
Strange that the programmers thought it important to allow one to turn off the Tool Tips Pop-Up feature but left this one out of the Customization menu. Oh well, if I can't turn it off, then I'm just going to have to remember to move the mouse out of the Events list.

I suspect it's a feature which cannot be switched off. I do wonder at you finding it irritating because I hadn't even realised up to now that it happens. Obviously I am not in the habit of hovering my mouse pointer where you do! -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://support.legacyfamilytree.com Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
