Tooltips and wacom tablets

Small issue (but important for me) with Wacom tablets and grasshopper.
When mousing over a component the tooltip flickers even with a "fairly" steady hand. It makes it nigh on impossible to read and since this is a pretty useful part of the grasshopper interface, I was hoping it could be fixed please.
I remember this was an issue with Rhino 4 and was fixed in an SR at some stage, so that might be a good place to go looking.

Intuous2, latest drivers
Rhino4 SR6
Grashopper latest stable build
XP Pro SR3 32 bit

Thanks, Steve

Hi Steve,

it's been complained about before. I need to add some sort of fuzz factor for tooltip-updates which allows the cursor to 'wander' a bit before a tooltip is recreated.

I don't know when I'll get around to this, but it will probably not happen before the next release.

Thanks David,

Honestly, I do not have delerium tremens ;-). I will attempt to keep my hand steady in the meantime.

Cheers, Steve

Delirium Tremens... that is one hell of a beer :) Sorry, I've got a soft spot for the Belgian brews.

hi.

i'm also suffering from disappearing tooltips while using tablet (intuos 3 and 4) http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/wacom-user-suggestion, so i have to keep mouse only because of grasshopper.

please just add 20px threshold so slight moves on tooltips will not cause its flickering

thank you in advance
