Subject: Tooltips - what a pathetic joke... :)
From: Steve Gehrman
To: Cocoa-dev
I added tool tips to a view, then tried to scroll the view. The
performance was pathetic. When a view scrolls the NSToolTipManager
has to reposition all the tooltip tracking areas and is super slow.
So slow that I'll have to write my own home grown tooltip manager.
Why is simple stuff like this so pathetic in Cocoa?
Has anyone done this already? Any Cocoa engineers have a secret
undocumented hacks that make this feature usable?
