Problem showing tool-tips
Hover over a file near the bottom of the list so the tool tip is above the mouse pointer. Move the mouse up so that the pointer is inside the tip. The tip for the next higher file is not shown because the mouse is on the tool-tip and not on the file. Particularly annoying when "Show tips when hovering file icon" is checked because there is not much space to move the mouse up and left, when only the icon is "hot". I may have mentioned it before but since work on the tool-tips is fresh in your mind, you might be able to find a solution.

Re: Problem showing tool-tips
I spent the better part of the weekend trying to position those bloody tooltips where *I* want them to be, namely the clip-tips right over the clipped item --- but I failedGandolf wrote:Hover over a file near the bottom of the list so the tool tip is above the mouse pointer.

However, I could easily fix your problem by making the tooltips vanish in the moment your pointer touches them.

Re: Problem showing tool-tips
You keep the tool-tips where you want them, it's not often I use them so it's no great issue.admin wrote:... I spent the better part of the weekend trying to position those bloody tooltips where *I* want them to be ...
However, if you have some spare time, you could always make the position configurable for awkward users like me!!
Not sure if that would be a good idea or not, it might be more of a problem if the tool-tip vanished the moment the pointer went over it. If it's easy then I'd like to try it and see the effect.admin wrote:I could easily fix your problem by making the tooltips vanish in the moment your pointer touches them

Yes, that works fine for me both with a mouse and the graphics tablet. I haven't tried it with a touch-pad on the laptop yet so I don't know if it might not be so good for that.admin wrote:... making the tooltips vanish in the moment your pointer touches them
