Re: Tooltips problem on Gnome 3

[Fred Kiefer]

Hi German,

thank you for keeping looking into this. You patch actually suggests that my 
impression of this being a timing issue could be correct. Of course I have a 
bit of a problem with sending events out of the stream. When ever we tried this 
„solution“ before for some timing issue, we just moved the problem over to some 
other event that wont get handled correctly. 
The best thing to do now is find out what other events get in the way of this 
one. Maybe there are resizing events or what ever else that result in this 
event not being processed correctly. Could you please revert your patch locally 
and switch on logging of events? I think you just need to add 
"—GNU-Debug=NSEvent“ when starting your application. Of course the logging of 
events could itself resolve the timing issue, but even then we could see which 
events get processed right before this one. So please switch on the logging and 
report back the order of events, when the tooltip window gets displayed.

Fred
