Edward, > This po-pup does behave like a tool-tip, so maybe that is > what it is. Anyway, the behavior in the Gramps 3.1.1 > Windows-port on an XP-SP3 system is as follows: > > When dragging a reference from the clipboard dialog box to > an Event Reference Editor's source tab, this > tool-tip/pop-up appears and remains on screen until the > cursor mouses over the windows portion of Clipboard dialog > box, at which time it will disappear.

So I think it must be a slight difference in behavior between the Windows and Linux PyGtk implementations. Nonetheless, I have a potential fix attached as a patch. Try it out and let me know if it works for you. If so, I can commit it as a bug fix. The patch is against the latest 3.1 branch. Does an issue exist on the bug tracker for this? If not, please create one. If yes, please send me the link. Thanks, ~Brian |
