Subject: bug#30399: 27.0.50; tooltips are broken
Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2018 23:26:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wozn9kyy.fsf@gmx.net> (raw)
I'm seeing buggy behavior with tooltips on master, and though I haven't
bisected with git, I see the problems starting with my first build after
this commit:
e462308f03..: Martin Rudalics 2018-01-18 Fix some tooltip related problems
and I don't see the problems in my builds before that commit. My builds
are with GTK+; I haven't tried with another or no toolkit.
Here's the (expected) behavior prior to that commit (also seen in
current emacs-26):
0. emacs -Q
1. evaluate (tooltip-show "This is a test")
=> A GTK+-themed tooltip is displayed for 10 seconds or until there
is an input event, then disappears.
2. evaluate (x-show-tip "This is a test")
=> A GTK+-themed tooltip is displayed for 5 seconds or until there
is an input event, then disappears.
3. evaluate (let (x-gtk-use-system-tooltips)
(tooltip-show "This is a test"))
=> A non-toolkit tooltip is displayed for 10 seconds or until there
is an input event, then disappears.
4. evaluate (let (x-gtk-use-system-tooltips)
(x-show-tip "This is a test"))
=> A non-toolkit tooltip is displayed for 5 seconds or until there
is an input event, then disappears.
And here's the buggy behavior (starting with step 2) I see on master
since the above commit:
0. emacs -Q
1. evaluate (tooltip-show "This is a test")
=> A GTK+-themed tooltip is displayed for 10 seconds or until there
is an input event, then disappears.
2. evaluate (x-show-tip "This is a test")
=> A GTK+-themed tooltip is displayed and remains displayed, even if
there are input events, until executing step 3 or repeating step 1.
3. evaluate (let (x-gtk-use-system-tooltips)
(tooltip-show "This is a test"))
=> A non-toolkit tooltip is displayed and remains displayed, even if
there are input events, until the end of the Emacs session (at least
I haven't found a way to get rid of it); however, if the GTK+-themed
tooltip from step 2 is still displayed when the above sexp is
evaluated, then after 10 (not 5) seconds the GTK+-themed tooltip
disappears (but the non-toolkit tooltip remains).
4. evaluate (let (x-gtk-use-system-tooltips)
(x-show-tip "This is a test"))
=> A non-toolkit tooltip is displayed and remains displayed, even if
there are input events, until the end of the Emacs session AFAICT; if
the tooltip from step 3 is still displayed when the above sexp is
evaluated, it is just moved by this step but does not disappear, and
if the GTK+-themed tooltip from step 2 is still displayed that
tooltip also remains displayed (unlike in step 3).
I tried stepping through Fx_show_tip in gdb while executing step 1 and
again with step 2 in current master. In both cases the GTK+-themed
tooltip appears, the code path jumps to start_timer, runs a timer, calls
x-hide-tip and then the function returns; in step 1, on continuing, the
tooltip disappears, but in step 2, on continuing, the tooltip remains.
Then I tried stepping through x_hide_tip, but the breakpoint was hit
before the tooltip was displayed and on continuing until the command
loop was again accessible, any input immediate hit the breakpoint
again. So I probably cannot debug this further without guidance.
