Prob: Color List tooltip delay in Large Mode

[photoken]

Win7 x64 SP1
PL 19.01 x64

When the Color List is using "Large Mode", the tooltip for the colour name is inconsistently displayed.

Examples:

• With the default set of swatches, if the dialog window is small enough, the entire list is not visible. The tooltips show up on the first screen, but if the list is scrolled down, the tooltips do not display. Scrolling the list up and down again sometimes causes the tooltips to show up again, and sometimes not.
• If a set of swatches is loaded which fits entirely in the window, the tooltips never display. Only switching to another view and back to the Large Mode will cause the tooltips to show up.

The same inconsistent display happens with the small icons in "Standard Mode" for the small Color List when accessed from the Foreground/Background swatches in the Toolbox.

The tooltips shouldn't be dependent of the display mode of lists.
But PhotoLine uses the OS for displaying the tooltips and both Windows and OS X do have hickups quite often.

You shouldn't have to do that. Usually it is sufficient to move the mouse outside the current window.

Yes! You're absolutely right -- thanks for that tip.

I don't know if there's anything you can do to avoid the "hiccups" in Windows, but for what it's worth, when these tooltips do display they first flash briefly for a split second before showing again.
