Definition/acronym tooltips cutoff by mouse cursor #3227

Bug description

Problem

The current tooltips are shown under their content and assume1 that the user has not changed their mouse cursor size2. That assumption1 should not be made as it causes the content to be obstructed and the user has to move their cursor back and forth over the potentially small term to be able to see what is underneath3.

Solution

Show tooltips above target area by default. This can be done using just css, however, if there is not enough space it would have to be shown below or beside which I am not sure is possible without javascript4.

Footnotes

  1. or was just not accounted for during development 2

  2. Some combination of operating system/platform + browser + settings + extensions may even have a larger-than-default cursor without any user configuration.

  3. That is if the cursor does not obstruct the full area.

  4. I have not looked around to check whether the current system is css only or if js is involved. Though guessing by the fact that they are still shown below even if there is not enough space, I assume it is pure css.
