Status view shows toolbar hints, even if the sidebar is hidden

[liquidev]

The hints for toolbar buttons are shown on the status bar, despite the sidebar being hidden.

Oh my gosh, I will talk with the people to the Quality department because this release has really a ton of bugs! :-)

Now, I am wondering how this can happens but I have to say it is a very cool bug indeed!

Fortunately though, most of these bugs stem from new features and don't break existing stuff :)

Related to this is also: When hovering the toolbar icons the hint is shown. when hovering off, the previous state is shown. This previous state is different depending on if the mouse enters the toolbar from the sidebar (blank) or the document (document info).

imo, the content of the statusbar should not change/clear just because one hovers the sidebar.

but i also find it a bit noisy that the text animates up and down if one would "swipe" the cursor over the icons, which is probably something most would do first time just to see the hints.

I am not sure what the best would be, one thing could be to make the "hitbox" of the icons larger so all the area of the toolbar belongs to an icon, but that is a bit confusing as well..

Maybe the statusbar is wrong for displaying these hints all together, and tooltips would be more appropriate?

i also recorded a video, im youtuber now! https://youtu.be/a3CR7G_cwOQ (30 seconds), and i was wrong with the clearing of the statusbar when hovering the sidebar btw.

for le record: the statusbar is cleard when user clicks something in the statusbar, even empty area. When it is cleared, the hovering over toolbar icons looks better. Still i don't think the statusbar should get cleared when the sidebar is clicked.

I think my implementation of the tooltip was hastily done and not well thought. I am going to fix this, thank you for the feedback and please a wait a little bit until I fix the status bar.

Fixed now in the master branch, I did it properly now. It would be nice if you can test but I am pretty confident now it is ok.

Hi @franko just installed Lite XL v2.1.0 and it looks like this is still happening.
Windows 10 here, let me know if any kind of log would be useful.
