requested Cockpit controls tooltips are not shown when any mouse button is held

[virgo47]

This is not a serious bug, but it is kind of strange and definitely annoying. I use a side button on the mouse (indicated as MOUSE_BTN4 in DCS) for two disjunct functions:

• Center View - when I don't use head-tracking
• And "Toggle while held" in opentrack, when I do use the head-tracking

The problem is this: When I press the button with head-tracking, to stabilize my view, the cockpit elements DON'T show any tooltips, unless I was positioned on an element and the tooltip was already shown. Then it nicely shows also tooltip for other elements I move my cursor to. Otherwise, no tooltips.

First I thought the Center View binding is causing this, but it is not. Even when I unbind it, it doesn't help. I could understand BTN1/2 disrupt the tooltips, because we use this (+ the mouse wheel scroll) to interact with the elements. But the tooltip is not shown, even if I press other buttons (mouse button 4, 5, etc.).

I know it feels obscure, but:

• Anyone: Can anyone with temporary head-tracking disable button on the mouse confirm this?
• DCS: Is it possible to fix it? It would help tremendously in cockpit exploration when it is very hard to keep the mouse on smaller elements to get the tooltip.

Of course, I can also bind the button to head-tracking toggle, but that is less flexible (I cannot use the button with modifiers for other tasks without toggling the head-tracking in the process).

I'll request the possibility to display tooltips on mouse hover even when a mouse button is pressed.

Perhaps it can be limited to those other buttons, not left/right. Those are very unlikely to be pressed on hover. Depends on when you want the tooltip to go away, of course.

But thanks for the feedback!
