Hover mode in 3D view
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
We would like to have a hover mode in 3D view. The hover mode would be activated much like one of the brushing selections (select cells on surface, etc). When on, the dragging behavior of all buttons on the mouse are disabled. Instead, as you drag the mouse over an object in the 3D view, it shows a tooltip next to the mouse cursor that provides quantitative information under the cursor, much like the hover behavior in a chart view when you hover the mouse over a line series.
It is not quite clear what information should be shown in the tooltip. Some suggestions have been the current block, the nearby cell or point, the field value of the colored field, and the field value set by the labels. The tooltip could show some combinations of these, but shouldn't attempt to show everything (i.e. all field values).
