Those pop-up help boxes are forever getting in the way. Would love to switch them off / summon them when needed.

Thanks

Pop-up help boxes? Are you referring to tool-tips or pop-up dialogues that ask if you're sure you want to quit without saving? Can you provide a screenshot?

[xcelente]

Ah yes, tool tips every time I go to change a value they keep getting in the way.

So sorry for posting this here as it is entirely unrelated to this post... but I have tried numerous times to create a new issue and I'm always getting a blank page on submit. This post may also not work, I will only know when I hit submit.

Bug: A node with the script-name Text1_2 already exists.

Steps:

1. Create new text node.
2. copy node “Text1” to clipboard, CTRL + C
3. paste below first text node, CTRL + V
4. delete second text node, DELETE
5. paste below first text node again, CTRL + V
6. rename text node to “Test1_2”

“Could not set node script-name to Text1_2: A node with the script-name Text1_2 already exists.”

@xcelente tooltips should never get in the way, and they are handled by Qt. Could you show an example where the tooltip is displayed over the value you are editing?

[xcelente]

After a long break, I've just gone back to natron to try and reproduce this tooltip problem and it no longer happens! I have no idea why it works now unless it was an issue with qt.
