    14 <p>Information pop-up notes are used to provide additional information to

    15 the user, most typically regarding a focused item. Although the Information

    16 pop-up can be used in various applications and components, it should not be

    17 used too frequently as constantly appearing and disappearing notes may disturb

    18 smooth user experience.</p>

    19 <p>The Information pop-up does not have focus, its content cannot be scrolled,

    20 and the control always remains in the main pane. The maximum number of rows

    21 in the Information pop-up is four. In a typical case, the pop-up emerges one

    22 second after the user has taken the focus on an item but has not made any

    23 further actions. The pop-up is timed so that it (typically) remains visible

    24 for ten seconds or until some event interrupts it. Time-outs are application-specific

    25 and variation is possible.</p>
