[CLOSED] Tooltip vs touch screen

[RCN]

Tooltip don't work on a PC with touch screen. The item must be focused (clicked) to show the tooltip.

It's possible to reproduce the issue on: https://examples3.ext.net/#/Miscella...Tips/Overview/

Tested on Vaio Ultrabook, model SVT151A11L.

Thanks in advance

Hello Rapael!

You are saying that a laptop with touch screen, even if you take the mouse over the control, the tooltips are not shown?

Or are you just saying that touch screen's proximity sensor should trigger it? So as if you approximate the magnetic pen to the screen, it activates the tooltips?..

You know, tooltips are a paradigm used for mouse-driven interfaces. Building an interface for touch devices and tooltips will imply in a very different trigger to show the tooltip (like focus, and not moseOver or Hover or MouseIn-MouseOut).

I don't think ExtJS has a touch-friendly implementation of ToolTips. I might be wrong though.

Give this a read, it might be interesting for you: Tooltips in the era of Touch.

Yes, there are alternatives, but they are no longer the same approach of hover with mouse. It involves dragging, or changing how to interact with the component (like show tooltip on click/tap a label or static icon).

I hope this helps!

EDIT: Check this Sencha ExtJS 5.1 example (its the same from ours): QuickTips example. I accessed it from the 5.1 examples directory (Miscellaneous, QuickTips). Definetly, they did not review tooltips to (out of the box, at least) adequate themselves to the touch paradigm.

EDIT2: Forgot to mention, I tested both examples with my android phone's browser, so 100% touch interface.

In my opinion it works as expeceted on tablets and on smart phones.

There is no a big feedback from Sencha.

By the way, has the threads been moved from Bugs to Q&A? Or you initially started in Q&A?

Yes. Their support in my opinion is a bit inefficient.
