[Flightgear-devel] tooltips in 2.12 and nightly builds accessibility

[Tomash B. <tom...@gm...>]

Hello,

One user tries to use cutting-edge tu154b from repo together with the
official release of FG 2.12 for MacOS, and experiences the following
problem: when he switches the view a tooltip with the view name appears.
When he points with the mouse to some control that has a tooltip while view
name is still on the screen that control tooltip shows up.  But it
disappears as soon as view name disappears, and no control tooltip could be
triggered after that.  James, can you confirm that tooltips weren't ready
in 2.12 yet, or is it some upgrade mistake on user's part?

I suggested the person to use nightly build from
http://flightgear.simpits.org:8080/view/Mac/job/FlightGear-mac/ , however
he replied that generated distro "doesn't have the GUI" (said it is
mentioned in README, I'm not sure but I think he meant some GUI to start
FG) and that he never made friends with command line.  Not care much
myself, but I think it's worth making nightly builds accessible to people
without command line skills, to increase the number of people who can
provide the feedback, if not anything else.
