When using FileList with highlighted extension, and the column width is small enough that the file name + extension doesn't fit (and you get a popup when hovering over with the mouse), a white small rect will appear between the file name and the extension. It is good that the extensions is always visible (if this was the intention), but the block is too large and seems to be constant size.

Also, if you hover the mouse over such and item and the popup appears, when swapping applications around by keyboard, the popup will remain on top of the new application. It will disappear usually when the mouse is moved, but I did manage to get it stuck once, and I had to switch back to TheIDE and trigger a new popup to be able to get rid of the old one.

edit: under Linux, 2008.1, KDE 3

There should be gray "..." text in the "whie box".

Maybe you do not see it or your monitor is adjusted so that gray text is not visible.

Leftover tooltips is sort of known issue and they are not limited to this situation and, funny, not even to U++ - even other apps under gnome sometimes leave them...

Hmmm, you are right. Using a screenshot and an image editor I found out that there are 3 almost white pixels. It seems that all such bright themes as mine exhibit this problem under KDE. Do you think that in such cases would be a good idea to increase the contrast of this color when we know the background color of the surface on which the text is painted?

So is this a problem with X?

Well, I guess it is something to fix. But rules there are extremely complicated... Means, it is hard to decide what is the real problem...

As for text contrast, well, who knows. These dots should be painted with the same color as disabled items. Do you see disabled items? Smile
