Description of problem: When using Anaconda on F18-beta, the pop-up balloons for Installation Source and Software Selection are reversed when the user reaches the Installation Summary page. AFter configuring the system the user is taken to a page entitled "Installation Summary." When mousing over Software > Installation Source, the pop-up balloon initially displays (incorrectly) the pop-up information for the Software > Software Selection menu. Similarly, when mousing over Software > Software Selection, the pop-up balloon displays the choice for Software > Installation Source. It looks like the contents of these pop-up balloons are reversed. AFter entering one of the menus to make changes, the pop-up balloons are correctly associated after the page re-loads. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F18-beta anaconda on netinstall CD How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot netinstall cd 2. run anaconda (in my case, it's done over VNC) 3. complete configuration and double check contents of Installation Summary page Actual results: Pop-up balloons contain contents of the wrong menu selection Expected results: Pop-up balloons shoudl contain contents of the right menu selection Additional info:
What text are you seeing in the pop-ups?
There was no specific error message in the text balloons, just normal text. I noticed this after I had finished the final configuration, after dealing with all of the error messages that were described with the little yellow triangles. If memory serves correctly, once each specific menu item had been properly configured to allow the installation to proceed, the pop-up balloons only contained a comment that was essentially the same as the menu title to which they belonged. In the case that I had described, the contents of the pop-up balloons had been reversed between the "Installation Source" and "Software Selection" menus. Perhaps a better way to say it is that once I had the installation fully configured, everything looked OK until I moused over the boxes. when I moused over the "Installation Source" menu, the pop-up said "Software Selection", and when I moused over the Software Selection menu, the pop-up said "Installation Source." It would appear that there's a block of code somewhere where the strings for the contents of the pop-up balloons have been interchanged.
Created attachment 662649 [details] screenshot showing misplaced tooltip for Installation Source I tried reproducing this with Fedora-18-TC1-x86_64-DVD.iso. The most I could get is misplaced tooltips. The tooltips are displayed and hidden as expected when the pointer is moved over each of the spoke links, but they may appear over an unrelated spoke link. Can you get a screenshot? Tested with: $ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-1.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/TC1/Fedora-18-TC1-x86_64-DVD.iso -usb -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse

That's what I was trying to describe. Thanks.
We're unlikely to ever get around to fighting with GTK enough to tell it how to position popups, if you even can.
I think there's a misconception here -- This isn't a case where GTK is improperly positioning pop-ups. It's a case where the pop-up is being correctly positioned; it's just been provided erroneous content.
