The tooltip overlaps when the mouse is high enough on the screen where the top of the tooltip gets pushed down. It should let the tooltip fall lower than the mouse, when it runs out of room.
I've tried one of the fixes where you turn off btm scans 'display in tooltip' and turn on the enx option to embed the text in the original game tooltip, didn't fix it.
I've been playing with what I display for over a year, reducing the amount of information, this helps some, but not always. And I'd rather have some of that info, so I put it back in, and....
Sorry if this is a repeat, I searched for overlap and didn't find an answer, most people said UPDATE or complained that the poster didn't search. It might be easier if some of those 2006 posts with no answers were removed, but that would be quite a project.
is there a known fix for this, maybe a link to another discussion i didn't find? Thanks.
My guess is you've got an addon that adjusts the tooltip size. The fix for that issue was committed in r3025, so any version with a higher number than that should work fine. (so you'll have to wait until we get another build out, or use the dev version - make sure you install cleanly if you switch from one to the other)
not updating is usually the problem most people have, though it not your problem. We've fixed your problem, but haven't gotten the fix into an actual build yet. I guess I wasn't clear enough.
To reiterate: it's a known problem, and the fix will be in the next build. Until the next build comes out, you'll have to be patient.
