Filter editor hover text not always shown

[millzee60]

Hi

There is an issue with the filter editor, at least on list grids in Chrome, doesn't seem to occur in IE9. If you have text in the filter that is longer than can be displayed, hover text is supposed to show the entire text when you hover the mouse over the filer cell.

If you move your mouse pointer into the filter cell from above, the hover text will appear. However, if you move the mouse pointer into the filter cell from below, the hover text does not appear.

This can be shown in the SC feature explorer here

http://smartclient.com/docs/9.0/a/sy...html#linkImage

Replace the code with this

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "countryList",
    width:300, height:224, cellHeight:24, alternateRecordStyles:true, 
    data: countryData,
    showFilterEditor: true,
    fields:[
        {name:"countryCode", 
         title:"Flag", width:50, 
         type:"image", 
         imageURLPrefix:"flags/16/", 
         imageURLSuffix:".png", 
         canEdit:false},
        {name:"countryName", title:"Country"},
        {name:"article", title:"Info",
            type: "link",
            width:50,
            align:"center",            
            linkText:isc.Canvas.imgHTML("other/openbook.png",24,24)
        }
    ]
})

and hit 'Try it'. Now place a long piece of text into the 'Country' column. You can then observe the described behaviour.

It would seem unreliable in IE9, sometimes it works and others it does not

Same problem

Hi all,

I have same problem with this tooltip. The tooltip doesnt show when you move mouse from bottom. Here is my example:
I used your example for live filter(http://www.smartclient.com/#liveFilter) with small changes :

isc.ListGrid.create({
    ID: "countryList",
    width:500, height:300, alternateRecordStyles:true,
    dataSource: worldDS,
    fields:[
        {name:"countryCode", title:"Code", width:50},
        {name:"countryName", title:"Country"},
        {name:"continent", title:"Continent", width:70},
        {name:"capital", title:"Capital"}
        
    ],
    autoFetchData: true,
    showFilterEditor: true,
    filterOnKeypress: true
})

When you select value "Australia/Oceania" in column "continet", than selected value is clipped so the tooltip should be shown. But it show tooltip only when you move from sides or from top, and not from bottom. I tried to debug it and it looks like timing problem because when you move from bottom you are hiding tooltip (leave ListGrid) and in same time you try to show tooltip for live filter. But the winner is hiding tooltip because you leave list grid. :-)
I tested it on your actual version on web (ISC_91_BRANCH_2014-03-30_1396234964_mabelene_bigfish/WWW Deployment) with FF 24.4.0 ESR.

Best regards,
Jirka

We are having trouble reproducing this, but we have actually just made some changes in this area very recently.
Could you please try the next nightly build (April 9, on the 9.1 branch) and let us know if you can still reproduce this.
If so, please pay particular close attention to exactly how you cause it (any subtle steps like how long you hover over the ListGrid header / body, etc) and we'll take another look.

Thanks

Cool, it is working in last version.
Thanks.

Still there in latest 9.1 feature explorer.

I'm still having the issue. And its easy to reproduce in your feature explorer here

http://smartclient.com/docs/9.1/a/sy...er.html#filter

Simply add more text than can be displayed in the first columns filter cell. Moving the mouse into the cell from the left, right or above and the hover text shows. Move into the filter cell from below and it does not.

I can't get this past our QA and so a fix would be appreciated.

regards

Colin.

Applogies

The feature explorer is an old version, from 03-Mar-2014. The latest build (28-Aug-2014) doesn't have the problem.

Now all I have to do is persuade my company to upgrade.

Colin.
