Popups Not Working Right in Trackerlist and Tracker Filter Plugins

• Usability
• Regression
• Consistency

The same problem is happening with the default tracker interface, as well as the trackerlist and tracker filter wiki-plugins. Essentially, if you want to display a given tracker field in a popup window when mousing over one of the listed tracker fields (i.e. fields that display as hyperlinks when listing tracker items), then that field MUST already be displayed in the listing. This behavior makes no sense, as it is pointless to display an already displayed field in a popup window.

You can actually view this problem, by listing your own tikiwiki bug items, and mousing over the bug title. A small, but empty, popup window displays.

Using Mozilla Firefox browser 3.6.9, and IE 8
