Description Gilad Lazarovich 2014-09-10 11:43:35 UTC

Description of problem:
Tooltips across clickable buttons in the application provide exact same text as the button text itself

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5 vt2.2

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate into any tab in the application and hover over the various clicable buttons (for example: New or Edit under the Data Centers tab)

Actual results:
The tooltip text is identical to the button text across the application

Expected results:
The tooltip should provide a more detailed text whenever possible, making user selections clearer

Comment 1 Einav Cohen 2014-09-19 16:24:20 UTC

should be an effort across all teams. 
@Vojtech/Alex/Greg: do we have an infrastructure for setting a tool-tip and a (separate) text for an action button?

Comment 2 Alexander Wels 2014-09-19 17:23:24 UTC

We do, but since we don't have any actual descriptions, the default is to set the tooltip (the title) to the text of the button if no other tool tip is provided. This happens 99% of the time, we have some icon only buttons that have some explanation text.

thanks, Alexander.
we should probably not do that - the title of the button should probably be empty. 
if relevant - we should maybe set the 'alt' property of the button to be copied by default from the button-text value ['alt' is for text displayed instead of an object (typically an image, so not sure if applies for buttons, especially text-buttons), and 'title' is for displaying something in addition to an object, typically in a tool-tip, so no reason to duplicate the button-text to the 'title'].

Comment 4 Einav Cohen 2015-03-23 13:54:28 UTC

Greg - what is the exact status in the application with regards to tool-tips over action buttons? from what I can see, there are no tool-tips on action buttons at all, including iconized ones (i.e. 'run VM')?

[clearing double needinfo]

Comment 6 Greg Sheremeta 2015-03-24 01:02:58 UTC

The buttons used to set the tooltip to the exact same text as the button title. However, for icon-only buttons, the title was hidden.

So, for icon-only buttons, this worked nicely. For everything else, tooltips == button title, which was undesirable.

I've added support to the buttons for setting a tooltip manually in the same fashion as everything else. https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/39067

Comment 7 Greg Sheremeta 2015-03-24 01:04:05 UTC

... and I previously removed the automatic setting of tooltip = title that was the subject of this bug.

Should be all set now.

Comment 8 Petr Matyáš 2015-04-15 10:45:00 UTC

Now the are almost no tooltips, only on buttons with some icon in it. Which is in my opinion wrong for VMs tab - Disks subtab buttons Activate/Deactivate (same tooltip as text).
Would be nice to have some more tooltips about what a button does.

> VMs tab - Disks subtab buttons Activate/Deactivate (same tooltip as text).

Good catch. Will fix, thanks!

Feel free to open an RFE for the ones you think need it. It's outside of the scope of this bug.
