[1433] timeline hover bubble hidden when Maximized

[Edgar]

My Win7 display is all default standard (except color and Aero is off) and MM4 is all at default (non-skinned).

When I hover the mouse on the timeline looking for a specific time to click the popup bubble is hidden behind the Taskbar:



This does not happen with other apps (e.g. Audacity) -- when a bubble would normally appear out-of-frame it is forced to be inside the app's frame (though the result is sometimes strained/strange <grin>).

Wait--now I see the problem, when I click Maximize the MM window ends up too big--the bottom of the app's frame is hidden by the Taskbar. I think that is the real issue (although Audacity still gets the bubble in front of the Taskbar when Maximized would cause it to be in the Taskbar).

I'm not even sure how it got Maximized, I never did it intentionally--I always keep it as a non-Maximized window which is 99% full screen.

Hi Edgar,

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, I can't replicate--when I maximize MM sizes correctly (actually it appears to be positioned correctly in your screencap as well), and when I hover over the seekbar, the time indicator does display.

Any more detailed info to replicate this would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Might be an unskinned issue?

Yesterday this was 100% repeatable (bubble hidden), today it is only happening about one time in 20! It only seems to happen (today) once, right after I Maximize, after it gets it right, it is always right, until I cycle through Restore/Maximize again.

As for the Maximized truncating the window:



the top image is Maximized, the bottom not. Note there is a 6 pixel strip missing off the bottom (of course, the frame is not drawn, but I did not count that in the measurement). In examining this, I also tried a few other apps (I never run Maximized so these were all virgin Maximizations), most apps worked fine (Windows Office 2010 64-bit, fileZilla, Tag&Rename & Audacity; one had problems--Chrome, and it was worse!

I know what Edgar is saying, tooltips for seekbar is out of frame only if seekbar is near the bottom of the player. As an example to reproduce Rusty:

1. Get CoachUK's "UltraBlue" skin where the seekbar is right at the bottom of the player
2. Have MM in window view (notice tooltips appears out of frame)
3. Then maximise MM (notice tooltips still out of frame and underneath taskbar)

Hope that helps!

For some reason, I can't seem to replicate this. In any case, it seems really minor--nothing that would hold up the 4.0 release.

I agree about minor and not holding up 4.0, just thought it worth mentioning.

Yep also agree its not major at all so dont worry about it. Also it does show the tooltips eventually once you hover over another thing in the player so it's really a half problem.
