Make tooltip appear at cursor position #755

Open jaimestuardo opened 6 years ago

jaimestuardo commented 6 years ago

From my point of view, a tooltip should appear at mouse cursor position, so this is a mistake of this plugin, which shows the tooltip outside of element boundaries.

For small elements, this is not important, however, I have placed this tooltip in a table TR element, so, in this case it is annoying because tooltip appear far away from the cursor position.

By using the "follower" plugin is not an option because I need the tooltip to be interactive, and that plugin does not allow to do so.

I have searched in usage guide but I don't find an option to do it, so I hope you can include it. I have seen something about repositioning a tooltip, but I think that is not the solution.

Regards Jaime

Tens of thousand people use the plugin with that behavior but if you think it's an error, your choice :) I'll keep this as a new feature request but it will only be done in a plugin if someone wants to do it. Maybe Follower could be improved with this feature. Thank you

I have solved it already by myself. Thanks.

@louisameline I'm not sure how I ended up on this thread, but @jaimestuardo seems to be a d***.

@jaimestuardo Where's your PR mate?

I really think you should take a step back and think about the number of hours @louisameline, @iamceege and other collaborators spent on this project.

You've been arrogant and I really don't understand why ... If you don't agree with some choices made during development you still have the possibility to Fork the repo and even submit a PR with your ideas. So I'm asking you ... Where's your PR mate?

@jaimestuardo Care to show your solution? I am looking for exactly the same functionality, would be helpful if you shared it.
