RE: BUG: Tooltip fights with cursor, blinking/pulsating tooltips

[tocsa]

Pulsation can occur between tooltip and cursor if the cursor shape and
hotspot makes the system to disappear the tooltip. This happened to me not so
long ago with an unusual cursor shape, and adjusting the hotspot of the
cursor somewhat helped (sometime it blinks one time, but no pulsation).
It seems that this doesn't affect Windows 7's cursor and tooltip handling
routines, I only experienced this with WinXP and Vista.

Hope this helps for the developers.

I debugged a _lot_, and finally realized that the problem is the cursor
itself (or actually the problem is in the system, but we can work it around).
Check you cursor resources.

Hi tocsa,

And does this occur in no-Addons mode?

Formfiller addons can change the behavior of input fields.

It sounds like an AJAX enabled text field though. Does this occur at every
web site you visit?

Do you have IE's Form fields Autocomplete enabled?

Regards.
