Title Tooltips in diagram at small zoom sizes
Category Diagrams
Description CLOSED - MERGED IN WITH WL#226
Sometimes it necessary to zoom out of the diagram to get a better overall picture of family branch.
When zooming out to the extent that the text is unreadable there is the danger of losing track of the locations of individuals.
This hampers the use of the diagram at very small scale zoom factors.
One thing that would make it easier is if a "tooltip"+ appeared if the cursor hovered over a box for a certain amount of time showing the individual's name and record ID at a minimum.
This will help the user navigate the diagram successfully even at low scale factors.
The aim of the tooltip is not to display all the information in the box but to act as a reminder.
The amount of time and the zoom factor before the tip is displayed should be configurable.
+ A tooltip is a little window that typically displays a bit of help or explanation for a feature of the UI.
Hovering the mouse over the buttons in the property dialog's fact tab will display tooltips.)
