I wonder if this could be a bug and if anybody else is experiencing
the same problem. We use HMDisplayTag to display help tags (in
OpenGL scenes). Worked great in pre-Leopard but in Leopard the tag
does not go away after keyboard input. Worse, AFAIK all the keyboard
events are being lost. Once the tag pops us the user will have to
move the mouse or wait for the timeout until keyboard input can
resume.
according to http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/carbon_help_mgr/Reference/reference.html
the Carbon Help Manager automatically removes the help tag from the
screen when user input occurs.
I assume user input includes keyboard input. Did this change? If so,
what is the reason? More likely, is this a bug and is there any way
around it?
The only thing that is special about our app is that the event
handler that we have to use is, unfortunately, still based on
WaitNextEvent. Could it be that keyboard events during a help tag
create carbon events but will not register via WaitNextEvent and
friends?
