A bug in the JavaScript file causes the display timeout counter to be set to zero on mouseover if no timeout has been set which causes the message to disappear.

This may be reproduced by installing the module and leaving all timeout settings blank. Once a message has been triggered and is displayed at the top of the screen, mousing over it and then mousing off will cause the message to disappear.

A patch has been attached to address this issue by simply adding a check to verify that a timeout has been set when attempting to pause the timer on mouseover.

Thanks for the patch slucero, although this has already been fixed in both dev versions.

@maciej.zgadzaj, I would like to incude Absolute Messages in an install profile I am working on, but I cannot ship knowing that this bug exists in the module. Would you be willing to release a 7.x-1.1 just for this bug fix?

I appreciate your consideration.

Cheers,
Sheena

Not a problem at all. Essentially I am planning to release a new version of the module pretty soon, after adding new feature from issue How to reshow the messages after they disappear?. Should happen over the next few days...

FYI - as I did not have time yet to work on issue How to reshow the messages after they disappear?, I have just tagged 6.x-1.01 and 7.x-1.01 releases, which include fix for this issue.
