On Chrome tooltip cycles #25

Closed tybdev closed 11 years ago

tybdev commented 11 years ago

On chrome the tooltip cycles endlessly if the mouse is inside the target but close to the stem.

Repro: Using Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m, go to http://www.opentip.org/. Hover over the box "styles" and move your mouse to the right border of the box, about 1 or 2 pixels away from the border but still inside the box, vertically in the center of the box's height (i.e. put the mouse close to the red tooltip's stem).

Observe: The tooltip keep appearing and disappearing endlessly.

Expect: The tooltip should stay as the mouse is inside the box.

When using relatively small targets this happens often and is confusing for the user.

Thanks for the report! That's due to the shadow of the tooltip. The next version of Opentip will have a fix for it.
