Subject: bug#17344: 24.3.90; REGRESSION: tooltip semi-transparent in *Completions*
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 21:43:02 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5768bb5c-7e46-4017-9d6c-018b51f5dd4b@default> (raw)
I think this is the same bug as #16619, which we closed because it
seemed fixed. However, I never checked the appearance of tooltip
frames in *Completions*, since I normally do not use tooltips.
The behavior I notice now concerns only tooltip frames - specifically
tooltips shown on completion candidates in buffer *Completions*: those
tooltips are semi-transparent. I do not see the problem with tooltips
elsewhere.
Please see bug #16619 for background and context. This is with my
setup. The regression started with Emacs 23.1 - there is no problem
with Emacs 22.
And just as for what was noticed during the bug #16619 thread, if I set
`frame-alpha-lower-limit' to 100 instead of the default value of 20 then
the problem disappears.
(Of course, I do not want to do that in general, and this is for code
that other users will use - I cannot expect them to tweak
`frame-alpha-lower-limit'. IOW, that workaround might help you
understand the problem and possibly find a solution, but it is not,
itself, a solution.)
Note that in my setup, *Completions* is a separate frame, and its input
is redirected to my standalone minibuffer frame. Dunno whether this is
pertinent, but it might help to know it.
Please see bug thread #16619, which apparently isolates the commit that
introduced that regression. (I'm guessing that that regression has been
only partly fixed and this report is about the same problem.)
