[bt-devel] beta4 hangs on mouse over the module list

[Joachim Ansorg]

Fred,
thank you for reporting this bug!

Seems like a mysterious one. I never had this or something similair here at 
home. And I don't understand why BibleTime is so unstable for 17% percent of 
our users (our currenr poll). It's rock stable here at home (well, most of 
the time).

We use the KDE HTML render widget for tooltips.

Does BT hang when the tooltip appears the first time of the whole app session 
or the first time withing the last minute or seconds?
Is it relevant to the module you hovered with the mouse? Does the problem also 
appear when you hold the mouse over verse references? 

I hope we can fix this soon,
Joachim
