Kim: I know that you have access to a 2 monitor setups could test and report if this works for one and 2 monitors? Steffen: Is this only a Linux-GTK-Problem or also on other platforms (which seems to be the case when the algorithm is wrong). Steve: To address the click through problem talked about in bug #204903 could you help me with Bug #195137. I'll try to create a test-case for OS-X, am I doing the right thing there to provide this click-through? (In reply to comment #3) > Steffen: Is this only a Linux-GTK-Problem or also on other platforms (which > seems to be the case when the algorithm is wrong). I would assume that it happens on other platforms as well. I have only verified on Linux but this screenshot was taken on Mac OS X: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=79977 ping for Kim, could you please give the patch a try, as said I don't have access 2 dual monitor setup Ack! I'm sorry Tom, I'm a horrible contributor - this totally fell off my radar. I will check on Monday. never mind, marking for M4 Tom: is there a test case for this that doesn't involve installing Mylyn? Well one of the snippets maybe? Verified the bug and that the supplied fix works. Thanks Kim - Released to CVS-HEAD > 20071107. Kim do you think we should consider this fix for 3.3.2, too? I'd say no - it's annoying but doesn't cause any serious grief for the end user. Steffen is the Mylyn-ToolTip change going to be part of 3.3.2 (if the yes we might have many complaints from Mylyn-Community when 3.3.2 is out of the doors) or targeted for 3.4? I have a weak +1 for considering this for 3.3.2. Whether or not it gets merged Mylyn has to do a fix, beause the Task List relies very heavily on these tooltips, we have a large number of multi-monitor users, and when it happens it is very weird. For Mylyn it's fine to copying the new class to do the fix, and I realize that Platform doesn't use these tooltips much. But 3.3.2 will be around for a long time, this behavior is weird and hard for other integrators to diagnose, so if this is easy to get into 3.3.2 it could be worth it doing. The Mylyn tooltip change will go out with the next Europa Winter Maintenance release. It seems that it is a straight forward fix that could easily be back-ported and will affect any plug-in using JFace ToolTips on Eclipse 3.3. It's also reproducible with the error log tooltips for instance. CVS is a platform component that is using it see bug #195137. I'm +1 for 3.3.2 Verified in I20071211-0010 *** Bug 221346 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
