48153 - Tooltips activate when minimized

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam]

Mozilla M18 2000080808, Mac OS 9.0.4

- Open a browser window and take note of the positions of the toolbar items.
- Minimize the browser window by clicking the windowshade button
- Move the cursor to a position where it would be over a toolbar item

The tooltip for that window appears, even though there is no window!!

Since there is no visible window, I would expect there to be no tooltips.

tooltips -> pinkerton. I can reproduce this when I have another window at 
the location of the mozilla tooltips, but not against a blank desktop. 

However, this is a minor defect, unless it suggests a deeper problem to Mike.
Suggest futuring this bug.

This problem might be more general: if the window is minimized, the cursor will
still change to a hand when you pass over the area where there is a link and to
an I when you pass over an HTML text field or the location bar, etc. This isn't
a big problem as you can't activate the link or text field etc. - clicking will
just bring the Finder or other app to the front. I am, however, able to
reproduce this against a blank desktop.

Yep, you're right, I can see the cursor change in places where a link or text
would have been, when mozilla is the foreground app. (Still can't do a tooltip
against a blank desktop).

To tell if a window is collapsed, you should check the content region:

I know enough people who collapse their frontmost browser window and will get 
confused by this.

Perhaps we should not dispatch mouse move events if the window is collapsed?

Mouse move events (all events, actually) to collapsed windows were suppressed in 
the fix for bug 49007. Marking this one fixed, too.
