Problems with help/

[yet-another-average-joe]

There is some problem with help popups and the Settings Guide plugin.

Steps to reproduce :

• detach the sidebar
• move it to a secondary monitor
• hover some field with the mouse cursor

The help popup appears over the sidebar, and can hide the field.
If the sidebar is on another monitor, and Settings Guide plugin is activated, sometime the help goes crazy : it shows then disapears every second or so.

No idea if the problem is Cura, SidebarGUI or Settings Guide related.

From the user point of view, if we detach the sidebar, it will probably be draged to a 2nd monitor, and near to Cura main window. Help and popups would be a lot more comfortable if they appear somewhere else on the monitor SideBar is displayed on. For example :

• sidebar on the left monitor :
  left monitor : [help]+[SideBar] , center monitor : [Cura]

• sidebar on the right monitor :
  center monitor : [Cura] , right monitor [Sidebar]+[help]

Please let me know if you need a short video showing the problems.

For now the workaround is to disable the option to put the Settings Guide articles in the tooltips.

• Go to Extensions -> Settings Guide -> Settings Guide,
• Scroll all the way down to About -> Preferences,
• Untick Show articles in setting tooltips (restart required)
• Restart Cura

I'll keep this issue in my backlog to properly fix it.
