PostPosted: Sat May 03, 2008 3:26 pm    Post subject: Tool-tips pop-up speed

After many years using Microsoft operating systems, actually from one of the first dos-versions and the early Windows, a couple of weeks ago I changed to an Apple system and OSX 10.5. After using OpenOffice for some time, now I started using NeoOffice and I feel that it is a great port to my new “Home-System” and I feel quit comfortable with it.

There is only one suggestion up to now I would make to improve NeoOffice and I think it is a fairly cosmetic one, but one which could give NeoOffice a more solid and competitive character. One of the first things I noticed when I changed was the sluggish or slow popping up of the tool-tips which makes my slightly nervous. I still need this feature so I can't turn it off. It is a feature which is thought to help yo decide rapidly which button to press, and in NeoOffice it makes you wait a few microseconds to long, especially comparing it with the popping-up speed in the X11-Version of OpenOffice o the new Aqua-port.

I am not an experienced programmer, but I thing when OpenOffice can do it, NeoOffice should be able do it even more easily and I imagine that it is not to difficult to program.

Maybe you could consider this suggestion in one of you next revisions ore patches.

I thing you are doing a really great job with NeoOffice and I hope to be able to help you in the future.

I am not sure what you are looking for. NeoOffice is using the OpenOffice.org code that determines when to display the tooltips without an modification.

Since NeoOffice 2.2.3 is based on OpenOffice.org 2.2.1, is it possible OpenOffice.org has changed the behavior in later versions? If so, we will automatically pick up any OpenOffice.org post-2.2.1 changes in this year's NeoOffice 3.0 Early Access release.

Update: I just ran OpenOffice.org X11 2.2.1 and I notice the same momentary lag of tooltip display that is in NeoOffice. Since I don't see the same lag in OpenOffice.org Aqua's latest developer build, the chances are very good that OpenOffice.org has reduced the lag time for displaying tooltips in their later releases.
