Re: pgAdmin, I love it but, hints are driving me crazy.

Sorry about the reply all.

I use 1.18.1 on an MS XP machine 34 bit.
I also had an issue with the mouse cursor theme that placed the
tooltip exectly where I intended to write and blocked my writing. I
fixed it by replacing the mouse cursor (I think the bad one was
"Windows Black (extra large)"). Still I would like to get rid of those
tooltips.

Thanks for your elaborate reply.
