Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

When viewing the treemap for a directory, the tooltip that I get when hovering over a rectangle always shows the same thing, rather than showing the full path name of the directory represented by the rectangle.

I'm running Hardy, and baobab 2.20.0.1.

Steps to reproduce: run "baobab" from a shell. Select "scan folder", enter "/var", Notice that tooltips on the rings chart show you the name of the directory you're looking at.

Now in the left pane with the list of directories, click the right mouse button on the "lib" directory and choose "Graphical Usage Map" to get the treemap view.
In that view, notice that the tooltips always say "/var/lib", so they are of no help in indicating which are the largest directories.

I think this worked before, so I think this is a regression. But I don't remember when,

Note that this code is being refactored - see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=530512

Why is this marked as "low" priority? Can anyone confirm that it is a regression? It causes the view in question to be very hard to use.
The future refactoring work going on will presumably never make it in to our LTS release.

This problem has been fixed by completely re-coding the whole treemap/ringschart view, implementing new functionalities. It will be available on develpment svn within next week and you will be free to download and install on your system.
Thank you.

why low priority? because that's a small glitch in a small application, that only 1 bug has been opened about it and nobody else subscribed to the bug, which seems to indicated that's not a high priority for ubuntu users, especially than there is thousand of bugs open, what priority would you expect for this issue?
