According to the tooltip-mode docstring: When Tooltip mode is disabled, Emacs displays one line of the help text in the echo area, and does not make a pop-up window. Under certain circumstances, the full tooltip is redisplayed in the message area after moving the mouse to a spot where no tooltip applies, when it should be erased. To reproduce: 1. "emacs -Q" 2. "M-x tooltip-mode RET". This is on by default, so it should display "Tooltip mode disabled" in the message area. 3. Invoke "C-b" (or whatever) in order to clear the message area; the bug manifests only if nothing is displayed there. 4. Move the mouse into the "-----" part of the right edge of the mode line. The message area will show the tooltip correctly, combined into a single line and (if the frame is narrow enough) truncated at the right. 5. Now move the mouse back into either the *scratch* buffer or the message area. The tooltip will still be displayed -- incorrectly, as it no longer applies. Furthermore, it won't be truncated; if the frame is sufficiently narrow, the message area will grow in height to accomodate the full message. 6. Moving the mouse out of the frame restores the message area. The attached patch to tooltip-show-help-non-mode appears to fix the problem, though I suspect it is not TRT. Shouldn't the third "cond" clause in this function take care of this case? -- Bob Rogers http://www.rgrjr.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-03-06 on rgr Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10400090 Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: en_US.UTF-8 value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Emacs-Lisp Minor modes in effect: diff-auto-refine-mode: t shell-dirtrack-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t Recent input: C-SPC C-M-b M-w TAB C-SPC C-u C-SPC C-u C-n C-n C-n C-n M-f M-f SPC [ x ] C-c C-c C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p M-b M-d " " C-c C-c C-b [ y ] C-c C-c C-u C-p C-u C-p C-p C-M-f C-M-f C-M-b ( o r SPC C-M-f SPC " " ) C-c C-c C-b C-b [ ` <backspace> z ] C-e C-M-b C-M-f C-c C-c <help-echo> M-f M-f C-n C-M-f C-M-f C-x C-e <help-echo> C-u C-n M-b C-b C-b <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> C-n C-n C-n C-b <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> C-f <backspace> <backspace> n i l C-e C-M-b C-M-f C-c C-c C-c C-c <help-echo> M-b <help-echo> C-u C-p C-u C-p M-b M-b M-b C-d C-d <backspace> C-e C-M-b C-M-f C-c C-c <help-echo> C-f <help-echo> M-b M-b M-b C-u C-u C-n C-u C-p C-p C-p C-p M-b M-b M-. <return> C-c b C-h f <return> M-, C-x o C-e M-b <return> C-v C-p C-p M-v C-s m e s s a g e ( C-r C-e C-f C-u C-SPC C-s m e s s a g e SPC ( C-r C-r C-s C-s C-s C-s C-s C-e C-f C-u C-SPC C-x C-b C-n C-n SPC C-u C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-e C-b C-b C-b C-f <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> <backspace> C-M-b <M-backspace> <backspace> C-e C-M-b C-M-f C-c C-c <help-echo> C-f C-u C-n C-u C-n C-n M-b M-d " " C-c C-c <help-echo> C-b <help-echo> C-_ C-_ C-_ C-_ C-_ C-_ C-_ C-e C-M-b C-M-f ) C-c C-c <help-echo> C-f <help-echo> C-c C-c <help-echo> C-x h C-u C-SPC C-u C-SPC C-M-h M-w <help-echo> C-h c C-c C-c <help-echo> M-x e m a c - <backspace> s - b u <tab> g C-a C-k a p r SPC <return> C-y <return> M-x r e p o r <tab> <return> Recent messages: Done -- 510 definition lines.
