Bug#658717: rhythmbox: Song title unreadable when holding the cursor on top of the 'next track' button

[Kees de Jong]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.95-1
Severity: wishlist

The song title bar is unreadable when skipping trough allot of songs. This is
because there is a 'hint' window activated when the cursor is on one of the
buttons such as the 'next track' button.
I perceive this as a design flaw. The only way to know which track is playing
is to look at the window title bar of Rhythmbox. Or to use multimedia keys (if
you own a multimedia keyboard).

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean: http://postimage.org/image/ts8n6vivr/
The behavior of the button hint should be once when the cursor hovers above it.
And when the 'next track' or any other button is clicked the button hints
disappear until the cursor has moved away and hovers above it again.
Because now they reappear every time when a track is skipped rendering the
title unreadable.

Thank you.
