Pesky little tool tip in Premiere

That bug is SO ANNOYING. And it's been like that since at least CS4. I just cannot drop the clip I'm currently holding where that ugly tool tip appears. I'm too lazy to type all that useless stuff in here. So I made a video before anyone asks "blah blah, that's not a bug. It's a feature."
Yeah, sure! Anyways, here's the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kq1ny_Vn-o

I have to admit that this 'bug' is obviously not a huge one and I don't want Adobe to invest too much time in it. But it still is pretty useless not beeing able to drop the clip when that box is there. And I think every 'problem' (even the minor ones) need to be said, so that the developer knows what to fix (or what to ignore).
All I could do was to send a ticket and start a thread in the forums. Now that bug is known and I can get back to work.

Disabling tool tips?

Whenever I open a large number of tabs in Safari, the tool tips will randomly stop working on each tab, and then I will suddenly get tool tips blinking rapidly near the cursor, which has the effect of locking up Safari for a period that is equal to the amount of tool tips that were not initially displayed.
I don't need the tool tips to begin with, is there some way to turn them off entirely?

Harm
Thanks for the suggestion but I actually already have Windows Tips disabled (through the Windows Explorer menu). But they're still showing up in Premiere. I tell you - it's 2011 but we still can't get consitency between Adobe apps. Photoshop? Turn Off Tool Tips. After Effects? Turn Off Tool Tips. Premiere? You're stuck with 'em.
Thanks,
Marc

I would like to see the actual email address in a Tool Tip when I mouse over the From address

I use Thunderbird to access my IMAP email account with a non-enormous ISP. Thunderbird is a great email client.
One thing I really miss when using Thunderbird vs. going to my email using a browser: in the browser, when I mouse over the From email address, a tool tip pops up showing me the actual email address, not the alias (or whatever it's called). Please see the attached image for an example of the mouse over tool tip. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

more misinformation and urban myths here than facts.
1. Thunderbird blocks remote images by default.
2. Thunderbird does not allow scripts in mail. If they are there they do not run.
3. The only link SPAMMERS or anybody in marketing gets to you is when you download their remote images, run scripts in the mail or click on links to go to their web sites.
4. When I or a spammer send a mail to say [email protected] Most mail servers will refuse delivery unless the address exists on their server.
5. True spammers do not care if a large percentage of the mail they send is to dead email addresses and they make little or no effort to validate active addresses. Corporations like Walmart, Woolworths here in Australia, Ebay and Paypal are very interested.
With that knowledge, you are now aware that opening the mail tells a spammer nothing even in the remote chance they are interested.
Oh and the source of the urban myth is Microsoft whose mail clients allow scripting, remote images and uses the file extension of the file not it's mime type to determine how to open it.
That is the difference between a mail client where the developers think security first and one where the developers give the user what they want and try to tack on security after the fact.

J Tool Tips - Strange and Awkward Bug

Hello Everyone,
I am having a very strange J Tool Tip bug. Okay first of all, the tool tip that I have created works when it is inside of a single panel for a single label. Basically, what I have is a number of J Labels - each having a unique tool tip. Here is the most basic of my code (notice that I have customized my own Tool Tip to have a yellow background and black foreground):
currentLabel = new JLabel("LABEL TEST")
            // Extends the JLabel and overrides createToolTip() to return a custom tool tip:
            @Override
            public JToolTip createToolTip()
                JToolTip toolTip = super.createToolTip();
                toolTip.setComponent(this);
                toolTip.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
                toolTip.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
                return toolTip;
        currentLabel.setToolTipText("Testing Tool Tip Message");Okay, so here's the deal. Here's the tricky part. When I have this label nested inside of a Grid Bag Layout Panel, it works perfectly fine. It shows up when the user's mouse hovers over the label.
Here's my problem. The project that I am working on is actually nested in many complicated panels. This project has about 100 java files, so I am just going to cut it short and let you know which kind of panels it is nested in.
Starting from the lowest panel:
1. J Panel (Grid Bag Layout)
2. J Panel (Box Layout)
3. J Panel (Border Layout)
4. J Split Pane (Right Side)
5. J Panel (Border Layout) (Largest Panel)
One of the things I noticed is that now when I hover over the labels, a very small microscopic blue dot appears right to the left of the mouse cursor. I seriously think this is the Tool Tip, but for some reason it isn't showing any text. The strange thing is that the tool tip works when panels 2, 3, 4, and 5 are non-existent. If you guys have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know! I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Brian

What I might do is : see if listening for mouseEntered and mouseExited events work on the labels when in their complex arrangement. And make a little tooltip class based on JWindow (perhaps with a JLabel on its contentpane so you can display HTML). I found this approach more reliable. Though one would expect this is what is already implemented, the inbilt behaviour may overcomplicate things resulting in some no-shows. I seem to remember having this problem with tootips on table cell renderers.

Tool Tips From Object Tag

Hi,
Strange phenomenon just started happening.
I have many client flash sites, some of which have been
running for years.
Suddenly, if you let the mouse hover (just stay in one place
for a few seconds), a yellow "tool tip", you know those little
yellow rectangles with help in them, pops up. The text of the tool
tip is the Title parameter of the Object tag in the HTML file.
I have one site that has "banner" as the Title property in
the object tag. So, a little yellow box with the text "banner" pops
up erratically whenever you leave the mouse in one place for more
than a second or two. It also goes away randomly.
This has not happened before, until very recently, and it has
not happened on the PC - just on Safari on a Mac.
Flash Player update problem? I'm baffled. I've removed the
title property from the object tags for now, but I don't know if
that will fix the problem.
Anyone else seeing the same issue?
Thanks, AAK (Alan)

No matter how I create form fields, they all have a tool tip, even if there is null character string for its value.
You can create a small JavaScript program that you can run through Acrobat's JavaScript console to place a null string in the 'userName' property of each form field in the PDF.
// get the number of fields in this PDF
var nNumFields = this.numFields;
// a variable for the field name being processed
var cFieldName;
// loop through all of the fields in the PDF
for(i = 0; i < nNumFields; i++) {
// get the field name for the ith field
cFieldName = this.getNthFieldName(i);
// set the userName to a null string
this.getField(cFieldName).userName = "";
} // end for loop
See The Acrobat JavaScript Console (Your best friend for developing Acrobat JavaScript) by Thom Parker for information about using the JavaScript console in Acrobat.

Corrupt tool tips

There's something wrong with my tool tips - those little tips or labels that appear next to the mouse pointer when it pauses over a tool / icon.
Here's an example, from hovering the mouse over the icon to insert in the editor for editing a message here.
Sometimes it's mangled with the correct tool tip (like in the first example above), and sometimes the tool tip appears by itself (because there is no correct tool tip, like in the second example above - hovering over text shouldn't generate a tool tip). It's the same few out-of-place tool tips that appear and they all seem finance or stock quote related. Here's more:
Note: the mouse pointer doesn't get capturesd by screenshots but know that it's there right above the tool tip.
The other strange thing is that this only happens in part of the screen area - baseically center, top.
Any ideas? I've rebooted, but that's all I've tried so far.

This always happens! Right after I post, I figure it out: the list from Dashboard is bleeding through somehow:
So, having my mouse pointer in the same area of the screen where the widget would appear if I activated Dashboard causes the tool tips to appear as if actually was hovering over the widget! How strange. So, I deleted the widget and then put it back in the same spot. Seems OK now.

How can I break the tool tips (tip strips) into to seveal lines?

I use the tip in "Description and tip..." to display tool tips (tooltips, tip strips, help cues, the little yellow strips with helpful information about a control). Some of the help messages are long, but the tips are still displayed on one line. In some cases the whole text can not be read because the tip is wider than the screen. I would like to be able to specify a maximum width of the tip, or to be able to manually insert line breaks.

Hi Nick
Actually, I write multiline string up to 256 char long in worpad. Then, I copy and paste into de tip dialog from pop up menu and it works fine.
Hope it helps.

Disabling tool tips...please

Does anyone know how to disable tool tips in IE 8 or IE 7.
Tool tips get in the way of recording and make for unsightly screen captures.
I know there is a way to do it in Firefox, but so far I cant find anyway for IE 8 or IE 7.
I am suprised the Adobe people do not have any published solution for this problem.
Masking over pesky tooltips can waste many hours in development time.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Ryan,
I just wanted to find out if you ever found the answer to your question as I have the same problem as you do!!! If not, would anyone be able to help us out?
Thanks so much!

How to control tool tip popup?

Dear all:
How can I control tool tip popup whenever I want ? and the position?

I've been looking at this myself recently, and have come to the conclusion that it's easier to show a JWindow with a JLabel insteadWell it depends on the actual requirement.
To simply force a tooltip to display in its default location for the component you can use:
Action toolTipAction = component.getActionMap().get("postTip");
if (toolTipAction != null)
ActionEvent postTip = new ActionEvent(component, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, "");
toolTipAction.actionPerformed( postTip );}
To force a tooltip to display is a specific location you need to get a little more creative. We tried code something like:
int delay = ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().getInitialDelay();
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().mouseEntered( create a mouse entered event );
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().mouseMoved( create a mouse moved event);
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setInitialDelay(delay);The above code should dislay the tooltip, but it will be hidden based on the rules of the tooltip manager.
If you want a more permanent tooltip that you can control when it is visible or hidden then I would use a PopupFactory. The basic code is:
JToolTip tooltip = component.createToolTip();
toolTip.setTipText(...);
PopupFactory factory = PopupFactory.getSharedInstance();
popup = factory.getPopup(component, toolTip, x, y);
popup.show();Now you are responsile for invoking the popup.hide() method.

How to keep Tool Tip for the compnnents like Buttons and JTables in a JFrame[/b
I have a requirement of keeping a ToolTip for diffent components in a Java Swing Aplication .Can u please tell me how to do that ??? (ASAP)

You use setToolTipText(...) for most components, like
JButton. For a JTable it can be a little more
complicated because you may want a different tool tip
for each cell. In this case you would override the
getToolTipText(...) method for the correct tool tip
for a given cell.If you have a custom table cell renderer, you can also call setToolTipText for the given cell.

Enable tool tip in Exported PDF document from a CRE Report

Hi All,
We are on BObj 4.0 and using CRE for our reports. We have enabled Tool tip text on mouse over for certain labels which works great in browser. When we export to PDF, we dont see the Tool tip text. Is there a way we can configure this in CRE so that the exported PDF also shows the Tool tip text?
Regards,
Sundar

I checked online and found this Note - 1567798 - Crystal Reports does not export Tool Tips when exported to Pdf Format. Does this apply to CRE also or just CR 2008?
Regards,
Sundar

JSlider + Display value in a text tool tip box

Hello,
I am new to Java. I want to display the value in a text tool tip box of the JSlider as the user moves the knob . Is there any way to achieve this.
I tried setting up the value of text tool tip in the stateChanged method. But that didn't helped

Finally Got it working. Below I am attaching the code for reference

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
