| Summary | 0020086: "Hints" on non-active window are shown | ||||
| Description | When a secondary window is active and when the mouse is hovered over a hinted object on the main window, the balloon hint for that object is displayed. In addition, if the tStatusBar is enabled on the secondary window, the hint from the main window shows up in the hint bar of the secondary window. My preference: hints for objects on non-active windows should be suppressed. I can tolerate the balloon hints for non-active windows appearing, but when the hints from another form start showing up on the active form, I think that is a bug. 0.9.31-31848-2.5.1, win32-Vista | ||||
| Additional Information | Steps to reproduce: New project, add a button Second window, add a button to it. Both windows: ShowHint := True Form1 button: hint := 'Form1.Button1 Hint' Form2 button: hint := 'Form2.Button1 Hint' Form1.Button.OnClick := Form2.Show. (need to add Form2 to Form1's uses clause. run: hover over Form1-Button - verify balloon hint shows up Click on Form1-Button - Form2 opens. hover over Form2-Button - verify balloon hint shows up with Form2 still the active window, hover the mouse over the Form1 Button, it's hint appears. --- And I think it should not appear | ||||

Done. This was created / tested with: 0.9.31-32432-2.5.1, vin32-Vista. |

It is interesting that Delphi 7 has this same feature / bug. StatusBar with AutoHint shows the hint from another window which doesn't have focus. I think this is a bug anyway and should be fixed. It is not a trivial task because the hints are passed around as Application actions and often it is desirable to show them. |

Not blocker, postponed. |

Please check whether it works better after r36253 |

This is not a bug but designed behavior. When the second for is enabled it should show hints. Think about the Lazarus IDE - it has many windows: toolbar with components, source editor, object inspector. When I hover mouse over a component icon I want to see the hint with description, same for object inspector. I should not perform extra actions like window activation to get this working. |

Reviewing my initial report, I see that I could have improved my report significantly. I do not have an issue with balloon hints, just the text to statusbar hints. I have the expectation that hints associated with a form should appear on the statusbar of that form and not appear on the statusbar of another form. In the attached example, with form2 active, when I hover my mouse over the button on form1, the hint shows up in Form2's Statusbar. I would expect it to show up on Form1's Statusbar. (note: I just tested with 0.9.31-36282-2.6.1, vin32-Vista; no change in behavior.) |
