Loot tooltips

[Chmee]

In dungeons, when loot comes up for a roll, and I hover over the loot icon so I can figure out whether I NEED it, or can GREED or DE, or pass, the loot's tooltip doesn't show up. Or rather, it does, but so briefly I can't get anything from it. It's as if the "hot spot" for bringing up the tooltip has reduced from the whole loot icon to just a very thin line in the border of the icon. Not sure exactly when this happened — fairly recently, but not just since the last nUI update, I think. I don't, AFAIK, have any mods which would affect this tooltip - no loot or tooltip mods other than nUI. I haven't tested whether it shows up with just nUI running (do I want to run a dungeon with just nUI?) Anyone else seen this? Anyone have a clue what might be causing it?

Notice that as well at times, it works better if there's nothing behind/near the loot so rotating the camera helps a bit if need be.

Never bothered me tho and always thought it was another addon blocking (tho never looked for it I don't think I have another addon that could interfere), my raid group links all items in chat anyway.

I think this is a bug in nUI's tooltip management, but it would be a huge undertaking to redesign that at this time, so I'm kind of "living with it" until nUI6.

As Seer noted, if you rotate the camera so there's no mobs/players behind the loot window, you can see the tooltip. The problem is that when there's a mob/player under the mouse it's trying to update the tooltips constantly.

This was something I had seen happening for a long time now. I just rotated the screen until there was nothing that would interrupt the display.

Okay. "Sit on it, and rotate". I'll try to remember.
