Tool Tips Too Big for Pop Up

[f11]

Anyone else seeing some tool tips that extend beyond (actually below, but that's probably a word-wrap effect) the small window used to display them?  Seems to happen with the smaller tips mostly, not the large, multi-paragraph tips like those that pop up to explain options in clipping drop-downs boxes.

I know I can just go change font sizes in the Preferences window, but I'm sure PI is intended to come up with suitable default fonts that work for the tips without user fiddling... at least, previous versions of PI used to.

Hi Rod,

This is a well-known Qt bug:

https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-15009

It has been there at least since version 4.6 of Qt. Unfortunately, nobody seems interested in fixing it.

Workaround: If you move the mouse cursor over the label to the left of the combo box, it shows the same tool tip correctly and you can read it. I'll try to fix this problem, but the idea of hacking Qt (especially style sheet related code) doesn't make me very happy.

Thanks, Juan - I just noticed that a few minutes ago: when you get a tip in a box that's too small, if you go to another tip and then go back, the box has been resized to fit the text.

I sure wouldn't put this issue very high on your priority list... others have identified issues FAR more problematic than this that need more immediate attention.  And since the workaround is a zero-effort action on my part, I can live with it.  Hacking style sheets is a no-win situation.

Thanks for the quick response...
Rod
