In Composition mode, you can hover over the word count in the footer to get a few stats. Clicking on this field brings up a pop-up that instantly disappears. It should be persistent, as it is in non-Composition mode.
mojave/scriv 3.0.9 (9414)
I’ve just tried and I can reproduce this too.
Not sure if we are talking about the same dialogues. In my case, its not the the actual pop-up (the one that pops up after the click) that disappears. This one stays until I close it in composition one. The stats dialogue that comes up with the mouse hover disappears once the mouse moves for a nanometer. In the regular editor (non composition mode) it stays as long as the mouse hovers over the wordcount.
Is it really the “after the click dialogue” that disappears?
I’ll check again, but for me the large pop up which appears after the click ‘for details’ disappeared immediately
Interesting. It’s the small hover one in my case on both, macbook and iMac. Just checked, same behavior on 3.03.
It looks like there are two different problems here in fact. The tooltip problem is one thing—I get that as well where mouse tracking does not seem to regard the local area as part of the tooltip trigger, so it vanishes as soon as you move the mouse. Could be the overall pointer tracking that checks to see whether the control strip should be visible may be getting in the way.
For oddities with the popover when you click, it looks like there is a bug there. With Internal error alerts enabled in General: Warnings (highly recommended you leave that on with a beta build), you should see a warning appear immediately upon clicking.

Regarding the tooltip, that seems to be an Apple bug, a side-effect of the composition mode window having “accepts mouse moved events” turned on (unlike other windows), which is necessary for the control bar at the bottom to work on secondary screens. So there’s not much I can do about that one, I’m afraid.
The other bug I cannot reproduce at all, strangely. The machines I tested on are running 10.14 and 10.14.1 - is there anything else I need to do to see this?
macOS 10.13.6 (17G3025)
Scrivener 3.09 (9413)
In Composition Mode:
The statistics tooltip stays on screen as long as mouse movement––to the left or right for quite a distance––stays on the same plane as the text, otherwise it disappears.
The click for options popover disappears immediately upon click. I tried different screen resolutions, window sizes, un/hide dock etc… Got the same result. [Side note: as AmberV suggests, I have Internal error alerts turned on yet a warning doesn’t appear immediately, or at all.]
Very cool Typewriter and Focus tools in the control bar. When I hover on Typewriter, the Keywords tooltip appears. When I hover on Focus, the Go To one does. Could all this be related and a boundary issue?
Oops, the typewriter and focus items have the wrong tool tips - I’ve fixed that. I already explained up-thread that there’s nothing I can do about the tool tips disappearing when you move the mouse. The final error - where the popover disappears - I still cannot reproduce. Ioa is seeing it on his main accounts but not on clean accounts, so there must be some setting somewhere that is triggering it, which we need to narrow down.
For those experiencing the issue with the popover disappearing instantly, could you please confirm: do you have “Full keyboard access” set to “All controls” in the “Keyboard” System Preferences? I have managed to reproduce the bug in that circumstance (but that circumstance only). The bug is present in 3.0.3 too, but should (I hope) now be fixed. Please try this build and let me know if it helps:
Keith, yes to both…
As in:
a) I had CTL-7 set to ‘All Controls’ which triggered the bug. Changing the setting didn’t trigger it.
b) The new version you posted doesn’t trigger the bug in either case.
Thanks!
Great, thanks!
My results match brookter’s.
And, the Typewriter and Focus tooltips now work correctly.
