Here is a weird quirky thing that I have been noticing a lot recently: People taking screenshots that have a tooltip window visible.
Is this accidental? An attempt to make the screenshot seem more spontaneous? Did Windows or OSX recently change something in such a way that this is now easy to accidentally do? Are people simply not proofreading their screenshots anymore? Is it a "west coast thing"?
I'm being serious. I was writing it off as user-error but I'm starting to doubt that now with how frequently I see it.
- Intermernet 12y agoI've done this in documentation in order to show a visual indicator of what the user should be clicking on, or filling in next. This is especially important in programs with confusing or ambiguous UIs (Find the "Settings" option in a Lotus Notes email database? <shiver>). Ideally, it wouldn't be necessary, but it can help as an extra guide in docs.
