Details

On Windows 7 with Tablet PC components enabled, the TIP pop-up icon (that appears whenever a text box is focused) does not appear when the text box contains any sort of content. This is quite serious, as it makes it difficult to make corrections to text. The workaround is to invoke the TIP using the floating tab on the side of the screen. This is quite inconvenient - when invoking the TIP by the side-of-screen tab, it appears in a default location, and can be quite difficult to use. STR: 1. Open Firefox 2. Focus search box (initially empty) using stylus * The TIP icon appears 3. Focus location bar (which contains text) using stylus * TIP icon does not appear In other Windows programs (which use native ComCtl32 controls), the TIP icon appears, even for non-empty text fields.
