Hello,

I use baobap only rarely but in always did its job in the past.

The current version does not.

First, I can no longer see the names of the ring sections resp. treemap
polygins. I can move the mouse cursor on top of it, then the section is
highlighted soon, then I see the bubble with the folder name and size
flicker for a split second (then it disappears) and then the section is
no longer highlighted. This happens for all contents of ring/treemap
charts.

Second, since the normal way is broken, I tried to match the colors. But
they do not make sense. In the folder overview, the colors of the most
fat child nodes are not the same as the biggest ring sections.

So basically the program is only usable via folder navigation. But OTOH
I can use xdu for that matter, the salient features of baobab are N/A.

Regards,
Eduard.

I can confirm the existence of this problem and that it renders baobab
almost unusable (there are, however, workarounds).

Normally, when the mouse cursor hoovers over a sector of the ring chart
of baobab, that sector becomes highlighted and black labels with the
names of the sub-directories appear.

However, at least in some desktop configurations (e.g. mine or
Eduard's), that highlighting disappears after a short while and the
labels never show up.

Here are two workarounds to prevent the highlighting from disappearing
and thus to show the labels:

(1) Keep moving the mouse pointer within a sector of a ring chart such
    that sector remains highlighted.

(2) Immediately after the sector becomes highlighted, stop moving the
    mouse and press the "escape" key.

This problem does not seem to be known upstream, but it has been
reported for the MATE version of disk usage analyzer:
