From: Celejar on 26 Apr 2010 22:10 This looks like a bug, but I'm not sure what to file against. I use a number of applications that implement tool tips, those little boxes that come up explaining some on screen widget. Very often, when one comes up and I then switch to a different window (using Xfce4 on Sid, all window maximized, and switching between them generally via alt-shift), the tool tip remains, superimposed over the new application, and won't go away until I switch back to the first app, move the cursor somewhere else to get it to go away, and then switch back to the other application. Anyone else seen anything like this? Should I file a bug, and against what?

Multiple related applications (e.g. multiple Qt-4 applications)? Every application? Single -> that app. Multiple -> that library / related "thing". Or any one of the applications, but include information about which other applications are affected. Every -> Probably your window manager, maybe X. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss(a)iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/

I think that I've seen a similar problem with other applications, but I can't reproduce such right now.
