Description

Some manipulations makes TXM interfaces blink. The bugs only happens to GTK3 and Ubuntu 20.04+

To reproduce 1

  • Create a CA
  • Open&Close the chart edition option dialog
  • the interface is blinking when moving the mouse over the corpora area

To reproduce 2

  • Create a specificity and open a chart of some lines OR Create a CA
  • click in the chart -> the border border around the chart is shown
  • place the mouse over the bar and don't move the pointer for some secs (time for the JFC tooltip to open ?)
  • the interface is blinking when moving the mouse over the corpora area

Solution 0

  • for 1) : in OpenJFCChartPropertiesEditor, do not wrap the dialog in SWT async and Swing.invokeLater : makes the dialog modal but the interface is no more broken
  • for 2) : in CustomChartPanel, disable the tooltips for Linux only

After some tests I confirm the issue is linked to Swing tooltips opening.
There was a suspicion of link to this Linux fix: https://forge.cbp.ens-lyon.fr/redmine/issues/2548 but it doesn't seem to be related with.
The issue https://forge.cbp.ens-lyon.fr/redmine/issues/2548 offers some solution but at high development cost.
In the source code there is some old test to use SWT tooltip instead of Swing/AWT toolitp. It may be an other way to fix this bug.
