Synopsis: Feature pop-up window floats over all programs
Description
When a mouse cursor is over a feature name for some time, the pop-up window is open that allows switching to edit feature contracts. It turns out this window floats over other windows, not related to EiffelStudio and remains open after EiffelStudio main window is minimized.
To Reproduce
See how it looks like in the attached screen shot: the pop-up window floats over desktop.
Problem Report Interactions
I can still reproduce this, but one has to move the mouse very quickly. I suspect that we don't get the mouse leaving the window. I think that we have to redesign the whole popup mechanism, because we have a very similar problem with the error tooltip.
