MainMenu and toolbar hints
« on: August 29, 2011, 11:26:41 pm »
My application contains a TMainMenu and a TToolbar below, both at the top of the form. Hints are activated and displayed in the statusbar when the mouse hovers above the toolbuttons. However, when a submenu is dropped down and the mouse is above one of the menu items the hints of the underlying toolbuttons are displayed instead which is distracting. How can I avoid this?

I can not reproduce this on Windows XP.

In the attachment is a simple project showing this issue, at least on Win7/64bit. When you click on the File menu item and move the mouse over the Open item the hint in the statusbar is not that of the "Open" item, but one of the underlying toolbuttons (depending on the horizontal position of the mouse cursor).

On Mac OS X no hint's are shown in status bar at all... bug? I can see only the hint that appear after some time that you leave cursor over the toolbar button.
