hi stapp, could you exactly describe what you do to get this ?

[stapp 123]

Hover over an item in the list which has the little notification popup.

Left click on the line ONCE when the popup happens (it will highlight the line)

Then with the line highlighted, and the popup there, double-click on the line.

(Win 8.1, 64 bit) -  now that I know the steps... that's reproducible here too.   But "the little notification popup" baffled me for a while.  I only see it if a column in the log list view is too narrow for the whole hovered-over piece of text to be already visible.

these are called 'Tooltips' , that's why i was confused.

This minor UI issue has been here since a while (months), we'll fix that.

Thanks

It may be minor but it's the first time it has affected me.

Because the GUI seems even bigger now the tooltip sort of jumps out at me.

I notice that the Date column width in the Log Viewer has been changed in 9322 so that it now looks like this

rather than this

would it not be better to change the column width so that both the date and the time is dislayed by default without us having to manually change the column width every time we want to see when things have happened ? So that it looks like this

This UI issue sits in stable 2019.2 as well. We will improve this for sure, thanks

Maybe changing the title of the "Date" column to something else, eg "When" or even just "Date & time" would be helpful too, not least because it might indicate to users who don't realise it's more than just a date, that it is.

Thanks Frank - I reported this back in October here https://support.emsisoft.com/topic/30072-beta-9014/?do=findComment&comment=188573 so this was my way of giving it a bump

Hi Frank

Had to take a break.  First with a few minor personal issues, and then a couple of major computer issues.   All is well and I am back.
