[1.1.76] Tooltip for recipe in crafting gui fails to appear

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

[1.1.76] Tooltip for recipe in crafting gui fails to appear

Post by Atraps003 »

In the crafting gui if a recipe is clicked before the tooltip delay expires the tooltip will not appear.

Thanks for the report. I looked into this and it seems this behavior is built into the GUI library we use since 9+ years ago. If a widget is clicked before the hover time expires it marks it as "do not hover anymore" which disables the tooltip for the widget.

I have no idea why it works like that.. but based off Factorio logic I don't think we want it to work like that either. I'll discuss it internally and most likely we will remove that logic for 2.0 so it just always shows tooltips regardless of you clicking on them before the tooltip time elapses.

Well, there was no consensus, so I'm going to put this into minor issues and say this is simply how it works.
