[hobbit] bb-hosts COMMENT Tag no longer working?

[White, Bruce]

 Malcolm,

Thanks for pointing out the tooltips --never option.  What I see is the text following COMMENT tags in the bb-hosts file displayed on the screen.  If a host has no COMMENT tag, but a DESCR tag, then the text in the DESCR tag is displayed on the screen.   This occurs no matter how the tooltips option is set, because on my second Xymon server, I see the DESCR tag in the text box, if a COMMENT tag is not present.  Interestingly enough, the fields on the info page are populated correctly from the DESCR tag, with or without a COMMENT tag.  I hope that makes it more clear.

      ......Bruce

I'm not sure what you mean. COMMENT and DESCR seem to do what they're supposed to for me.
