If that variable means what I think it means, how on earth was it ever approved?
Because that reg key controls how long you have to hover over a menu object in ms before the tooltip appears. Try set it to zero and reboot if you’d like, but it’s going to be a shit experience I’d wager. Cause you have tooltips appearing all the time and they’ll end up getting in the way and covering other ui elements.
There are many flaws with windows, but that ain’t one of them.
Deep nested menus were also much more common (including the start menu itself), and the menu items were often cramped closer together too. I used to turn the delay to zero because it was "cool" to see all the sub menus flying out everywhere as you moved your mouse up or down to where you actually wanted to go, but as they often popped over due to limited screen space it was actually a poor experience as you mentioned.
Still felt leet though.
You add a Delay to the component and when the boss says 'make it faster' - you could spend hours optimizing - or you just remove, or make smaller the delays.
You look fantastic to your boss if you can remove a 1/2 delay.
I've got set timeout all over my websites for this purpose 🤣😭.
For fucks sake I hope your joking x.x
If that makes it past a code review, it means there was never a code review. Given that companies exist where shit is shipped straight to production, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a joke...
If they're a solo freelancer it's possible.
Shit! This damn computer is doing things before I think them! If only we could add a delay so it behaved a little better. Hey! You can!
Assumedly, to deal with a race condition.
