57616 - Pop-up Balloon help messages are "sticky" to WM

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 53653

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Rick Niles]

When I place the pointer over the URL entry box and leave it
there for a moment I get: "Enter search term, keyword or web address"
which is great context help.  However, if I use a hot key
to my window manager to change virtual windows, it's still there.
Mozilla was left on the old virutal window but the help is still there.
and it stays there until I go back to mozilla and mouse over the URL
box again.  In many window managers this is called being "sticky".

Somehow you need to get a hint to the window manager (WM) that this pop-up
balloon help is associated with this application and should move with it.
Either that or you need to double check every few seconds to see if the mouse
is still on top of thing you were reporting help text for...

I hope this makes sense...it's a little hard to explain.

We'll be visiting some tooltip issues.
