I am no expert here, but the behaviour in base matches the
documentation. If this does not result in the desired effect, we will
have to use a different way. And maybe the solution is as simple as
adding that timer for the modal panel mode as well.
I just added the line
[[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] addTimer: timer forMode:
NSModalPanelRunLoopMode];
to GSTooltips.m (plus the required includes) and now tooltips work
even in modal panels. There are a lot more places in gui where we use
a timer and most of them would benefit from a similar change. The
question is, are there any downsides to this change and which places
should be adopted?
And most important: Should we really change this during the code
freeze that is currently in place on gui and back?
That is good news. Wolfgang mentioned also the cursor not blinking, do
you remember?
Abut the code freeze, I don't know: the change looks rather harmless,
you just add another timer. I do not know about adverse effects it could
have. When do you remove it?
It it looks harmless as it is, I'd put it in.
