Subject: bug#5703: 23.1.92; `x-show-tip' and `tooltip-frame-parameters' do not respect `left' and `top'
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:49:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DF5796ECD96A4DD2807094BE7934B041@us.oracle.com> (raw)
emacs -Q
M-: (x-show-tip "aaaaaaaa" (selected-frame)
'((left . 30) (top . 40)) 10 0 0)
Or something similar. Instead of displaying the tooltip frame at the absolute
location specified by `left' and `top', it always displays it at the mouse
position plus the DX and DY (0 and 0 here).
Also, the tooltip does not remain displayed for the 10 seconds specified, but
perhaps that is due to the way this is evaluated (M-:).
As another example (easier to see), evaluate this:
(let ((tooltip-frame-parameters '((nil . "tooltip")
(left . 100)
(top . 200))))
(tooltip-show "aaaaaaaaa" nil))
In this case, the tooltip is always shown with an offset of 5 (the default DX
and DY) from the mouse pointer.
The `left' and `right' parameters are ignored. Even the doc string of
`tooltip-frame-parameters' says that `left' and `top' should be respected.
Instead, the mouse pointer position is always used.
Another illustration:
M-: (my-show "aaaaaa" nil 100 200)
where `my-show' is the same as `tooltip-show' except that it accepts optional
LEFT and TOP params, to override `tooltip-frame-parameters':
(defun my-show (text &optional use-echo-area left top)
"..."
(if use-echo-area
(tooltip-show-help-non-mode text)
(condition-case error
(let ((params (copy-sequence tooltip-frame-parameters))
(fg (face-attribute 'tooltip :foreground))
(bg (face-attribute 'tooltip :background)))
(when (stringp fg)
(setq params (tooltip-set-param params 'foreground-color fg))
(setq params (tooltip-set-param params 'border-color fg)))
(when (stringp bg)
(setq params (tooltip-set-param params 'background-color bg)))
(when left (setq params (tooltip-set-param params 'left left)))
(when top (setq params (tooltip-set-param params 'top top)))
(x-show-tip (propertize text 'face 'tooltip)
(selected-frame)
params
tooltip-hide-delay
tooltip-x-offset
tooltip-y-offset))
(error
(message "Error while displaying tooltip: %s" error)
(sit-for 1)
(message "%s" text)))))
`tooltip-show' should in fact be modified in this way (adding optional LEFT and
TOP), IMO, so that you can easily show the tooltip anywhere without first adding
the location to `tooltip-frame-parameters' (e.g. as in the `let' example). But
the bug needs to be fixed first.
