Viewport containment doesn't work for fixed tooltips

[abyx]

Well, I got a really ugly hack to make it seem to work with fixed tooltips, but it's not something I'd like to use since I don't have a thorough understanding of the code. A diff of my hack is available here. Basically, I changed the code so that it would get another mouse event after showing the tooltip (by still following it) and then allow a single repositioning post showing (which I'm guessing would screw up non fixed, but easy to make it right).
If this helps you fix this solidly I'd be grateful!

Hi,
I'm really sorry that you seem to experience every last problem there is with Opentip.
I was under extreme time pressure those last days (weeks) and am in the studio again the next weeks, but I hope I get some time tomorrow to inspect and fix the problems you experience.
Thanks for your patience and your efforts to figure out the problems yourself.

Thanks a lot. And you shouldn't apologize, since it's open source and the reason I'm using it is because it's the best one that I've found for my needs. Code is hard, sometimes it doesn't work perfectly, even more so with javascript widgets :)

Hey, I saw you closed this. Was this fixed by 5a5c8fd ? Or was it some other commit?

[enyo]

Oh. I thought it was fixed by a12db3b. I'lll reopen the issue until I've verified it.

Hey. I just wanted to know whether you think this will be fixed soon. No pressure, I just need to know if I need to use my patched workaround version on production or not and want to plan for it. Thanks!

Hi. I'll try to do it in the next 2-3 days. Cheers

Ok. The problem seems to only appear when the tooltip is not fixed to an element, but at the mouse cursor position. This way, when the browser gets resized, the Tooltip is being replaced at mouse position, which has changed since the time it appeared.

So as a quick workaround, set a target for the opentip, and your problem should be solved. I'll look into how much the other solution would be. (But as a ground rule I suggest adding a target when you choose a fixed tooltip)

Ok. It was quite easy to fix. Although leaving the tooltip at mouse position gives some weird effects when the website content is centred it behaves as expected now.

YES! Looks great here. Thank you so so much. I owe you a 🍺, shall we ever cross paths :)

If I ever get the chance to visit Israel I'll take you up on that offer!
