This works at the acceptable level with a horizontal Add Widgets bar -- I would suggest that the vertical displacement is not really enough; the tool tip should be displaced not only to not cover the icon and text label but to not cover the AW bar. However, a vertical AW bar have very poor usability. I would guess that this is the same problem that has been seen before where different actions are needed for vertical and horizontal Panels and this doesn't happen. Is it presumed that all Panels are horizontal? Whether the displacement is only sufficient to clear the icon and text label, or to clear the AW bar, the displacement always needs to be towards the center of the screen. This means in the Y direction for horizontal panels and in the X direction for vertical panels -- the sign depends on which convention is being used for the location of the origin. This is the bug and it needs to be fixed. Why it even needs to be filed as a bug is something which puzzles me. I see the question of turning off the tooltips as a separate one. It appears to me that it should be possible to turn off all tooltips. How finely divided this should be is another question, but it needs to be possible to turn them all off. Some experienced users find them not only unnecessary but an annoyance. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
