Tooltips flicker #45
Comments
No repro here with Ubuntu 18.04, Firefox 81.0.2 and Sawfish 1.11.90. The tooltips show up and stay. I'm using compton as compositor. |
Thanks for the respond. I tried Firefox 81, pulled the packages from Then I stumbled over sawfish-themes, and look, the theme Crux is the I found out that at least on my system the themes Anonymous have the issue I described above, and absolute-e are running just fine. Or at least almost fine because the tooltip is If anybody could confirm this - you have to restart firefox or sawfish |
You are right, I'm using mxflat but I can reproduce it with Crux. I can also reproduce it with mxflat when I enable "Draw an extra window border" with a width of 6 pixels, so this isn't a graphical issue as I presumed, it's window placement issue. The displayed tooltip covers the area on which the mouse hovers, which triggers a mouse leave (or so) in Firefox which assumes that the mouse was moved away from the element or even browser window, which removes the tooltip. However, the extra border is not actually added to the tooltip, but the position of the tooltip is shifted by the amount instead. Seems like calculating the tooltip window position is off by the set border, even though it is not displayed or used. That might actually be a bug in Sawfish. |
I have a problem in firefox, since 81.0 I guess, concerning flickering
tooltips in the render-area. It's about the 'internal' tooltips
rendered because of title attributes in html tags. The tooltips in the
GUI area are pefectly fine.
Try for instance https://heise.de and hover over the buttons

The tooltips are just visible for less than a tenth of a second and
they are almost under the cursor not below.
I first blamed firefox. But I tried other WMs (metacity, openwm) and
they behave correctly.
I used sawfish 1.11.90 and now upgraded to 1.12.90 from phtonic
repository without any changes.
I also found out, that Firefox is somewhat to blame, too, because the
current ESR-78.4 behaves allright under sawfish.
I hope someone can help.
