Small GUI things

[Marc van Cauwenberghe]

Hello Paul,


If you call up the function library the main menu bar turns grey.
If you then paste something and then quit the function dialog, you will see that only the edit menu returns to black, the rest stays grey.

When you use the mouse weel if there is a tooltip present the tool tip will stay where it is, it should disappear I think.

Hi Marc,

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but I cannot reproduce that.

Hi Rolf,

I am talking about 2 different issues. Which one is it that you can not reproduce?

The Edit menu of the main window should turn grey because it is not the active window anymore.
If I either close the Functions Library or activate the main window again everything is normal again.

The mousewheel issue is correct - I would say a minor cosmetic problem. I have seen this in other programs as well.

Not 100% sure about the mousewheel issue being an "issue". The edit caret has not moved and this is where the next keyboard entry would be inputted. Say that someone has started a command and the codetip shows...the user then wants to quickly readjsut some lines on the screen to see a variable or something, they could use the mousewheel. Likewise, using the right hand side or bottom scrollbars do not destroy the codetip.

I am on the fence with this one. I could easily introduce code to destroy the codetip if that is the consensus of the group.

I was just able to reproduce that functions Library paste thing. Weird. Not sure what is triggering that behaviour yet.

No problem, just looks a bit strange.

Come to think of it. As soon as you open the function library, the main menu goes grey, but you can still the menu items. Maybe it should not go grey in the first place.

I'm fine with removing the tooltip unless you find a way to make it scroll with the text it belongs with, just don't confine the caret to the window when scrolling like PB does, that is the main thing I find they do that is annoying.
