Summary0005499: Ardour 3.1 OSX AU plugin AUFilter leaves tooltips behind
DescriptionArdour 3.1-75-gcadfc2a in Mac OS 10.7.5.

Opened AUFilter plugin with graphic EQ. Adjusted parameter by clicking and dragging breakpoint. Tool tip (balloon window options for setting parameters) pops when clicking breakpoint and remains even after the plugin window is moved or closed. Tool tip remains in place even if project window is moved aside or minimized. Tool tip only goes away when Ardour is closed.

Can confirm this happens with pretty much any of Apples AU plugins that come with OS X. (AUDynamicsProcessor, AUBandPass etc.)

This has been filed as a bug with Apple. Their developer said "it should not be the responsibility of the host to close these windows".

However, it works in Reaper and Logic and so I suspect that Apple will do absolutely nothing to fix the bug.

I spent several days on the problem in April, and I currently can see nothing that Ardour can do to remove these windows. Even their existence violates apple's own plugin GUI guidelines, as explained in one of their technical notes.
