Description

Probably better demonstrated by this video. When the mouse is hovered over a song, the tooltip song info appears, but if the mouse is moved over it and off the window, the tooltip does not disappear and remains over all windows.

Something which I couldn't reproduce in the video is that sometimes the tooltip appears over other windows after you open them. If your mouse was on an Audacious song and you switch to another window, opening the new app causes you to switch away from audacious, but the tooltip just pops up after a second or so. It's especially annoying if you're trying to play a game, but I'm confident that both bugs have the same cause. In either case, you have to switch back to audacious and move over another song to cancel the tooltip.

What window manager are you using? I can't reproduce this under XFWM4.

That video was under Gnome-shell. I think Mutter is the WM it uses, but I'm not sure.

Please see if you can reproduce the problem using a different window manager. My guess is, some window events are not getting through to Audacious under Mutter.

Closing because unreproducible.

#6 Updated by Dimitar Asenov almost 11 years ago

I experience exactly the same two bugs as shown in both videos. This issue is still present. It is reproducible every time and very annoying. Both bugs happens even after I switch to a different virtual desktop.

I'm using Kubuntu 13.10 with all the latest updates.
Audacious 3.4
KDE 4.11.2

Let me know if I can provide any more info or if there is something I can do to resolve this.
