Currently, when you grab and drag a buddy to create a contact list, if you pause the mouse cursor over a buddy, the informational popup displays which obscures the list.  There should be a way to detect if the cursor is in the act of dragging (there may even be a "dragging" attribute?) to prevent the info popup from appearing.

This is already handled, but there's a bug in my code. As soon as the dragged buddy is moved over an acceptable drop target, the opening of new tooltips will be prevented. Unfortunately, if you take a bit too much time to leave the area of the dragged buddy, the tooltip is displayed for the buddy you are dragging :-(.

I can't reproduce this on Linux.

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
