RT#7834: UI Inconsistency with Missing Tooltips When Dragging Split Lines from Rulers in "Split Pages" Dialog

[rakunavi]

Hello all,

I would like to report a minor UI inconsistency regarding the tooltips in the "Split Pages" dialog.

In the main editor window, when rulers are enabled, dragging a guide line from either the ruler or the document area displays a tooltip showing the exact position of the guide.

While the "Split Pages" dialog uses a very similar UI, the tooltip only appears when dragging a split line within the document area. When you start dragging a split line directly from the ruler, the tooltip does not appear.

I believe showing the tooltip when dragging from the ruler (consistent with the main editor's behavior) would improve the overall UI consistency of the application. I understand this is a very minor detail, but I wanted to bring it to your attention as it would enhance the user experience.

I have attached a video below for reference:

• First half: Shows tooltips appearing correctly when dragging guide lines from the ruler in the main editor.
• Second half: Shows tooltips failing to appear when dragging split lines from the ruler in the "Split Pages" dialog.

Thank you for your time and for developing such a great tool.

Best regards,
rakunavi
