stuuf's Journal: My Windows XP bug list

1. (a small interface display bug) In dialog boxes or other windows that contain hyperlinks (Microsoft is putting these everywhere), try moving your mouse over the link. It will change to a little hand. Now, you will decide not to click it, but move on to another region of the window (maybe they never thought people would rollover the link and not click it). watch your pointer. STILL A HAND! Only when you move it to another control and not an empty space, will it turn back to an arrow.

2. (another display thing, but much more annoying at times) tooltip exchanges. This works anywhere you have a bunch of tooltip'ed controls right next to each other, eg a taskbar, toolbar, systray, smileys menu on windows messenger. It seems to happen more reliably when a lot of (especially non-microsoft) programs are running. First, hold the cursor over one item. the tooltip appears normally. Then move to another quickly. Something funny happens. Same text as the first item, although its the width it would be if it were the text for the current item. Move to some more items. The text is always one step behind you.

Also:

The details field turns blank when Explorer is building thumbnails sometimes.
