Bumbling highlights square.

Expand Post »
How do I get rid of this square full of text that chases my cursor around the forum topic lists like an angry bee. It is annoying, especially when the text spills out from the square and covers other text. It used to appear only if I hovered over the entry for several seconds, but now it won't go away.

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

Go into your control panel and in Edit Options there's an option to "disable tooltips".

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

I went ahead and changed the way it works so it doesn't follow your mouse around anymore, and you have to pause over a link before it appears. Better?

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

But I need them for other things (and they appear after a delay there). I just don't want them appearing constantly on the topic titles (which started happening today).

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

When you disable them in your control panel they appear the way they did up to today (generated by your web browser instead of via JavaScript).

A little. It still appears instantly as soon as I stop the mouse, and the text still spills out of the square if a url is in the first few lines.

And sometimes I get two squares, one on top of the other, with different text, when I hover over one of the icons.

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

OK, I turned off tooltips, and it works right. But why do you have such an annoying feature?

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

Because I love it. I had to put it back b/c I missed it too much, and when it didn't follow the mouse around, it was nearly identical to having it disabled and using the browser's tooltips.

Re: Bumbling highlights square.

It's as annoying as the moving ads.

I turned it off.
