As Saul already responded that happens only if you use DND. Why on earth would a UI control activate just because you hover some seconds over it? That strikes me as utterly useless, what's the problem with pressing the mouse button if it is not otherwise occupied (e.g. by doing DND). ciao, --mitch _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
