Hmm, I can't reproduce this on git master. The tooltip itself appears outside of the region; it's not clear to me how it can get mis-positioned like that.

Can you attach a video recording with your phone that shows it happening, maybe?
Comment 2 Nico 2025-12-23 19:58:30 UTC
Sure I will record a video with my phone now
Comment 3 Nico 2025-12-23 20:08:14 UTC
I think the key point is that I'm double-clicking in the middle of the region to start the recording!
