 Hello Bogdan,

I have just tried AWM configuration window only, without the main program being launched. I do not see the flickering tooltips anymore under Win 8 or Vista.

It would be nice to be able to disable tooltips once they are not needed anymore; they do become intrusive after a while.

Maybe another checkbox "Disable Tooltips" could be added in The 'Options' - 'General' page. specfically in the 'Control Cenrtre Options' area.

Best Regards

 Hello Gerard

Thanks for the info.

We'll consider the implementation of such option.

Best regards.

Does the flashing appear when the program not launched, just Configuration Window?
Yes, I also see the empty text boxes/flashing when only the Configuration Module is opened.

I agree with Gerard. Thanks for considering this option.

Best regards.

 Hello Pim

Could you check what is the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for" (AWM shortcut properties > Compatibility tab) is set to? If it's disabled try to enable it with the parameter different from Vista OS, maybe Windows XP. Does it help?

Best regards.

 Hello Bogdan,

There was no compatibility set. I tried setting it to Windows XP, but the issue was still there.

Are there any records of Vasiliy's observation in 2011? That may give some more insight.

TBH: I do not see a point in investigating this further, if I am the only one affected. It is only a minor issue and, as I wrote before, there is a good chance the issue will disappear when I migrate to Windows 7 (that will be a fresh install, not an upgrade).

Best regards.

 Hello Pim

Vasily was able to confirm the same slight flashing of the tooltip while moving the pointer over the item which i described recently.

OK, let's stop the investigation of this problem for now.

Let us know whether the fresh install of Windows 7 helps.

Best regards.

Ah, I understand why this did not have priority. The issue you observed was even much smaller than my experience.

It will be some time before I do the migration, because there are still many things I need to sort out. And by that time I hope I will remember this thread. If not, you may assume that the issue has not occurred again  :D

Best regards.
