[Bug 391708] New: Gnome panel help tips occlude important parts of the panel
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=391708 Summary: Gnome panel help tips occlude important parts of the panel Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: robin.listas@telefonica.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- See the attached photo: the help tip is occluding part of the panel, interfering with the user trying to read the panel. This is specially uncomfortable when autohide is enabled: the user moves the mouse a bit up to stop the help tip, and of course, the panel hides too. The help tip should be positioned outside of the panel. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But yes, at the right end it is worse. Notice too that this behaviour is not customizable from the panel properties window (right click on it). Not even disabled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

For example, open nautilus and move it to the right of the screen so that the last toolbar button is partly off-screen, then move your cursor at the top of this button to show the tooltip. The button is nearly not visible in this case too, like the issue you're having with gnome-panel. GTK+ could probably try to be a bit smarter when it positions the tooltip. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What I mean is that in the case of the panel it is even noticeable on the left side because the panel is a thin horizontal bar and the help tips try to keep inside the panel, occluding also other buttons. I also understand that it is very difficult to adjust this properly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll think a bit more if we can do a fix in the panel first... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
