+Been a while since Ive gotten a reply did I do something wrong???

[wkitty42]

no, you didn't do anything wrong... more likely no one has any further ideas at this time...

[lonewolf]

Guess Ill wait and see? Thank you for the update

[lonewolf]

Just thought I would pop in and see if maybe someone has a new idea??? Thank you all!! If nothing here is there someplace else to get help on this issue??

To help with this, it would be helpful to post screenshots, log file info, help/about info etc - e.g. referring to: viewtopic.php?f=37&t=29504&p=284322&hilit=#p284322

Ok some more info... The boxes show up when I scroll over them and dispapear when I move the mouse away... Its is for all the ill say onscreen in cockpit hotspots. The options menus boxes work fine. Thank you for the sound advice I will try that.

I'm not sure if anyone really noticed this but this user is describing the help context boxes, "hotspots", that are activated on mouseover. So far that seems to be the only issue.
Has anyone ever seen "only" the help boxes do this?

I know next to nothing about the code behind them, are they canvas?

@lonewolf, for now, you can turn off those popups in the menu under VIew/View Options/Show Tool Tips.
At least until you figure it out you can fly without the distraction.

I'm curious if the non-tooltip popups (like cycling the mouse) do the same thing, are they created using the same method?

[Hooray]

like I said, screenshots (or a video) would obviously help ...

[lonewolf]

I have posted screen shots....??? other than a video of which im not sure how to do?? not sure what else I can do to help the ppl helping me?

Is there an older version that might work better?

So only the Canvas tooltips are not working ? What about other Canvas features (map dialog) ?

PS: I haven't re-read the topic ... so, ignore if you have answered that already

In case you don't know what Hooray is referring to it is in the Menu under Equipment/Map (Canvas). Please click on that menu choice and let us know if that has the same issue as the help popups.

What about this: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/ma ... /34883684/
Please check your help/about dialog to see what version of OSG your are using.
Also, please consider posting a proper bug report, filing all the info requested here.

(If this affects other Canvas features, too, it would probably qualify as a showstopper ...)
