Description Pawel Piech CLA 2008-10-28 18:03:17 EDT 
I found a couple annoying issues with popup on Linux GTK:

1) The popup that appears when I hover over a variable gets the focus after I move the pointer to it.  But I never get the controls to be able to resize (or move) this window.  Attaching screenshot.

2) The display and inspect popup can be resized and the size is persisted, although sometimes this persistence is lost.  But I cannot reliably reproduce this.
The location is not persisted, which I guess is by design, but on a my dual screen display these popups often appear on a different screen from the main IDE window.  This happens when the popup location is near the edge of the screen.

Is this still valid after Bug 62652 got fixed?
(Unfortunately I have a win machine so cannot verify myself)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
