Mouseover hints on a mac
« on: 2010 February 16 01:02:05 »
Hi there! Is it just me or do any of you also find that the mouseover hint texts no longer fits their pop-up windows? Take the Normalization parameter in ImageIntegration for instance, on my Mac the text disappears off the bottom edge of the window.

Best regards,
Ginge

Hi,
there have been other reports on this. I sometimes also see it on my Windows machines, both Vista and Win7/x64.

Hi all! Any news on a fix/workaround for this issue? I still need to read the hints from time to time :-[

As a workaround: For me it usually helps to move forth and back between items that have bubble help. After some tries, the bubble sometimes extends to show the full text. I don't know if this helps on Mac, though.
