Thanks, joar.

I just wondered what would cause something like that and I also wonder, if Apple's got a bug report on this issue.

Sorry for the OT.

I am just wondering, if somebody has an explanation for the annoying behaviour of the tool-tips in Apple Mail.
I often get a madly flickering tool-tip after having clicked in the toolbar (obviously having hovered long enough over a button to trigger the tool-tip).
Sometimes the flickering tool-tip only disapears, if I a set focus to another app. And the CPU-consumption goes trough the roof if this happens.


Anybody else experiencing this?

Yes, I also see that from time to time. In my experience this is not unique to Mail, but can happen in any app that doesn't properly create background threads for long synchronous operations. When it happens for me it's mostly because Mail is busy talking to my IMAP server, and spending too much time doing that in the main thread.
