Missing option to disable the tooltip
gitterman opened this issue · 2 comments
I am on 0.9.11 on Windows 11, and for a few weeks now I get nagged by the tooltip from wincompose which frequently appears and stays open, even without hovering over the tray icon at all.
Unless I actively unhide the taskbar and/or hover over the wincompose tray icon, the tooltip stays open and covers other windows content which is really annoying.
I guess the issue came up after I had updated windows to 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5027231) some weeks ago.
I have all tray icons set to be shown in the taskbar settings, which is a security and usability issue for me.
I have also set the taskbar to auto-hide so that it doesn't take screen estate when not needed.
Unfortunately, there is no option to disable the wincompose tooltip.
I had been running wincompose 0.9.11 happily without the tooltip problem on Windows 10 and after my desktop upgrade to W11 since February.
I found issues #359 and #426 which describe a similar problem and which are marked as "possibly fixed", but are still open.
As my issue did not show up until recently, I think the cause may be different.
Please either check if the bug can be fixed or add an option to disable the tooltip.
I used to have this problem and it seemed like it went away, but more recently it is happening very frequently again.
Yup. I've got this same problem.
