Tooltip "TopRight" setting puts the tooltip in the top left
Application Type
Reactive

In the above screenshot, I have a tooltip set to "Top Right". However, I would call this "Top Left" because it is ABOVE and the bulk of the tooltip is pushed to the LEFT.

I would expect Top Right to put the tooltip above and to the RIGHT of the clicked element, like the red bubble below:


I feel like I'm missing something fundamental here. Can someone explain this to me?

And if this isn't normal, please let me know that as well.

Thanks.

ETA: Just found this live guide, where the tooltips work as I expect. I have no idea why mine are showing up incorrectly, because after removing ALL my custom CSS, it still has the above behavior.

Since the live style guide shows it working correctly, it does sound like something specific to your app/theme. 
Would you mind sharing a minimal OML that reproduces this (just the tooltip + the element it's attached to)? That'd make it a lot easier to pinpoint what's different in your setup

Unfortunately, my organization doesn't allow me to share OMLs of any kind. I used to be able to use a personal environment for this, but since everything's moved to ODC (and my organization uses O11), it doesn't seem worth it to try.

Thanks for the offer to help, though. I'm hoping someone has seen this before or has a hunch.

@Gaius ,

Your screenshot and that life style guide show the same thing : the right side of the content and the tooltip are aligned if you choose top right.


(that's just my guess based on your screenprint, i did not put any time in verifying this)
