Contact tooltips inappropriately show when the contact list is being reordered

Description

See ticket #1156. The same behavior still exists, except the tooltip now only shows up when the contact list is being reordered, as in when a contact's status is changing.

  • summary changed from Contact tooltips still show up when the contact list is hidden if the contact list is being reordered to Contact tooltips inappropriately show when the contact list is being reordered.
  • milestone set to Adium X 1.3.1.

I think I heard someone else mentioning that last case was not fixed by the solution for #1156

When I last noticed this particular incarnation of tooltip issues it even happened while watching a movie in Quicktime fullscreen - so it can be a major annoyance!

I don't understand this report. Can you show a video of it?

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.3.1 to Adium X 1.3.2.

1.3.1 is meant for 1.3 regressions.

Unfortunately it's hard to reproduce because it requires the timing be just right. Here are the conditions and steps to reproduce:

  1. Have the contact list window open and not hiding on screen edges
  2. Put a window on top of it (or a full screen Quicktime movie)
  3. Leave your cursor hovering over the area that the contact list would consume if it were on top of the currently visible window
  4. When a contact signs on or off, or changes status, they will slide up or down the contact list. During this 'slide', as the contact passes 'below' your cursor, the tooltip will momentarily appear then disappear

As you can imagine, this is particularly annoying when it's a movie being watched when they appear!

The reordering is causing a -resetCursorTracking, which is causing it to think the tooltip should display.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [24006]) Use an instance variable to keep track of whether or not the mouse is inside the tracking rect. This sort of breaks the case where the contact list growing won't display a tooltip under the mouse if it expands to the location the mouse is, but I consider this bug annoying enough to not care so much about that. Fixes #9936.
