[Desktop-packages] [Bug 630660] Re: clock applet should not have tooltips
Aaron Ahlemeyer, what I would expect is either no tooltip at all (easier codebase to maintain, less annoying for endusers), or as a part of a normal tooltip convention, if a tooltip is going to be presented, it's only something not already shown via the applet. In the case of the Clock, the tooltip repeats the time, but does show the timezone. With GNOME Sensors Applet it repeats the temperature but shows the device name. If tooltips stay, then it would seem to have to be dealt with on a per applet basis. Either way, it's not something Ubuntu would want to deviate from upstream on. It's hard enough to maintain the codebase as is, versus two codebases, one from upstream, and the other Ubuntu's modified version of upstream. Please feel free to file a new report via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ . Once reported, please post the upstream URL to this report so that it may be tracked. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/630660 Title: clock applet should not have tooltips Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-panel 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 2) apt-cache policy gnome-session-fallback gnome-session-fallback: Installed: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 Candidate: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 Version table: *** 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages apt-cache policy gnome-panel gnome-panel: Installed: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 Candidate: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 Version table: *** 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 3) What is expected to happen is when one holds Super+Alt secondary click an empty space of the gnome-panel clicks Add to Panel...
