I must say I agree with a lot of the people complaining here... I do not like this change at all. It brings a whole new lot of problems we didn't have before. For example I like Rhythmbox's previous behavior that you just needed to click on its status notification icon ONCE and it brings it up, then if you click again it hides it. Now we have to make so many unnecessary extra steps because we need to click on it to see what was previously in the tooltips.
Anyway I really don't mind change and innovation, for example although It felt a bit weird the first time I tried the window buttons on the left, I can live with it and get used to it. But this tooltips business is a whole other story. I use tooltips quite a lot and I feel they save me a lot of time and clicks. Now I must say I feel quite frustrated without them. I was wondering if I should upgrade my main desktop to Lucid yet, because I generally like pretty much everything in Lucid so far, the look, the way empathy is integrated, etc. But then this tooltip BUG makes me seriously reconsider. Karmic is now running rock-solid on my desktop and behaves almost exactly as I want it to, so I guess I might actually stick with it for a while unless this decision is reverted. I'm quite disappointed and I think this is a major mistake. I'm not against testing this in the future however (with hopefully some kind of alternative-replacement to tooltips), but as many have pointed out, this is a bad idea for an LTS! -- please include status messages/tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
