Obscured Tooltip Test
Sample Icons
Results: OS X (Yosemite, El Captain, Sierra) with FireFox
Obscured tooltips in on OS X occur when the cursor is set to either a medium large or large size with zoom levels set from 0% and up (either full zoom or text zoom). The tooltip does not respond to accommodate zoom settings. Key issues:
- Tooltip text does not enlarge.
- Tooltip text does not adjust its position in regard to the enlarged cursor.
- Tooltip appears underneath the enlarged cursor resulting in a portion of the tooltip text not being perceivable. It is obscured.
Results: OS X (Yosemite, El Captain, Sierra) with Chrome and Safari
Enlarged cursor can move independently of the tooltip text so it does not overlap. However, the tooltip does not respond to accommodate zoom settings. Key issue:
