"Sticky" tooltips

[jng]

Currently tooltips will always follow the mouse pointer, as a result if there is any interactive content inside the tooltip, it is impossible to actually interact with the said content using the mouse.

What the tooltip should ideally do is to stay at the position it was first displayed, and only disappear when the mouse pointer leaves the tooltip's bounding box. This is how it's done in Fusion and allows for clicking of any interactive content inside the tooltip.

Arthur, can you review this?

Is this patch good for submission?

Hi jng,

the code looks good, but the result in my machine seems wrong.

please see the attached image.

Yes I see the problem too.

But the thing is I revert the ajaxmappane.templ back to the original current version in 2.2/trunk and I still get the same incorrect tooltip!

[jng]

Okay, I've found the problem. The Districts layer of the Sheboygan dataset has the wrong label expression. It is using the expression:

concat('District ', Autogenerated_SDF_ID)

The Autogenerated_SDF_ID does not line up with the label, hence the disparate tooltips.

Yes, That's dataset's problem. I will submit the code on behalf of you. Thank you for this enhancement.
