Tactilis Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Version tested: Paint.NET 5.0.11 on Windows 11 Bug Description: The Help icon's tooltip is erroneously displayed if Help is activated using the shortcut Alt+H The tooltip is displayed next to wherever the mouse pointer happens to be at that time. Reproduction 1. Hover the mouse pointer over the icon and note that the Help icon's tooltip is displayed as expected. 2. Move the mouse pointer elsewhere. 3. Press Alt+H to activate Help. The Help menu appears as expected. Note that the Help icon's tooltip is also displayed. Expected behaviour: The Help icon's tooltip should not be displayed when Alt+H is pressed.

Rick Brewster Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 This looks like one of those weird WinForms-ism bugs. The choices is to either have this goofy behavior, or remove the tooltip altogether.

You don't get a stray tooltip when you press Alt+X for Settings. Is that because Alt+X displays a dialog versus Alt+H displaying a menu? Or is there some other difference between the Settings and Help buttons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 As Tactilis pointed out, Help button is the only one (in the top right buttons group) with a menu. Maybe that is the reason for unusual tooltip behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing can be done to suppress it, then IMO it's better to have a goofy detached tooltip when the user presses Alt+H than to remove it altogether. The tooltip when hovering the mouse over the icon reveals information that's useful. Edited October 23 by Tactilis 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rick Brewster Posted October 23 Solution Share Posted October 23 Yeah and it’s not something you’ll likely use that often. It’s not like the File menu has this behavior! 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then it was agreed that it was preferable to retain the current behaviour in which the tooltip appears next to the mouse pointer when Alt+H is pressed.
