Tooltip in Advanced Options should vanish when I click away...

[fredstluka]

I like the new tooltips in the quickMove Advanced Settings popup.
But once a tooltip is showing, how to get rid of it?

Clicking outside of the tooltip does NOT clear it as I expected it would. One tooltip goes away when I click another one, but I can't ever get back to none of them showing. Except by closing and reopening the Advance Options popup window.

Click the same (?) again, this will close the tooltip. I will probably add a [x] close element dynamically at a later stage. I am also planning to change the style (background color) of the active tooltip as long as it is displayed to make it more obvious. Maybe with an internal shadow or something.

Here is a version that highlights the button after clicking, to indicate where to click to close the tip. should also make a little clearer what option the tooltip belongs to:

QuickFolders-mx-6.10.5pre22.zip

To try out this version, download the zip file and then drag it into Thunderbird Add-ons Manager (without extracting).

@RealRaven2000 OK. I installed QuickFolders-mx-6.10.5pre22.zip. Yes, the question mark is now highlighted when the tooltip is open. And, yes, that DOES make it more clear that I should click it again to close the tooltip. And yes, it DOES make a little clearer what option the tooltip belongs to. Thanks!

Without an [x] or a Close button, I would still have expected that clicking anywhere outside the tooltip would close it. So other users may assume that too. But now I know, so this is a very low priority for me.

Feel free to close the ticket. Or put it on the back burner for someday when you feel ike playing with it. Or whatever. Thanks for the continued excellent service!
