Dear devs,

I recently upgraded my Mac to OSX 10.13.5 and started noticing a strange 
behavior when starting WSJTX-1.9.x (the two may not be related).

When I start WSJTX-1.9.0 or 1.9.1, I get a small textbox popup that reads in 
part "Transmit digital gain" - the rest gets cut off. This box pops up on 
startup wherever my cursor happens to be (inside or outside the main app 
window). After a second or so the text disappears, leaving the shadowed box.

I uploaded a screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/VVVNYJv

As you can see, I have a shortcut on the tak bar that I use to start the app 
(near the left center, right below the 'q' in "Auto seq"). The box hiding part 
of the task bar is the one in question. It contained the above "Transmit 
digital gain" text momentarily. The box cannot be moved, and it disappears 
immediately when I quit wsjtx. This happens regardless of whether the app is 
started from the clicking in the taskbar or the finder or from using 'open 
wsjtx-1.9.1.app' from a terminal window.

This does not happen with 1.8. Could this be a Qt version difference?

The only reference to that text that I could find was in the file 
mainwindow.cpp:

void MainWindow::on_outAttenuation_valueChanged (int a)
{
  QString tt_str;
  qreal dBAttn {a / 10.};       // slider interpreted as dB / 100
  if (m_tune && m_config.pwrBandTuneMemory()) {
    tt_str = tr ("Tune digital gain ");
  } else {
    tt_str = tr ("Transmit digital gain ");
  }
  tt_str += (a ? QString::number (-dBAttn, 'f', 1) : "0") + "dB";
  if (!m_block_pwr_tooltip) {
    QToolTip::showText (QCursor::pos (), tt_str, ui->outAttenuation);
  }

Any ideas?

Thanks and 73 de K4DET
