Yes, I have the current cty.dat and lotw1.txt files in my .fldigi folder. The normal fldigi tool tips work fine; however, I was not able to get a hover popup on incoming call. I was not hooked up to radio, but I typed a call and sent it to the Rx panel. The call was there and when I hovered over the call nothing happened. I tried it using the trackpad and the bluetooth Magic Mouse and neither worked.  Nada on the hover call popup.  I have not problems with the hover on my iMac so the issue seems to be unique to  MacBooks, OS X version or operator error.

Sure would like to hear from someone using a MacBook with OS X 10.6 or OS X 10.7. Again, the tool tips work. The issue is only with the hover popup.

Their tool tips work but they cannot get the hover-over-a -Call Sign to work with Mac trackpad equipped laptops.
