Description Vladimir Voskresensky 2016-04-20 10:27:45 UTC
It's hard to reach "pin" icon area, because I have to move mouse inside the tooltip boundaries.
Please, move "pin" to the left.
Btw, as side effect it will also help to solve the problem of dissapearing of toopltip, because now simple usage would be:
- hover
- move mouse up and pin
- inspect data in tooltip without bothering that mouse must be "not moved" (which cause tooltip to disapear)

I mean "I have to very_carefully_move mouse to stay all the time inside tooltip boundaries". I succeed only on the third attempt, so there is an usability problem :-)

IMHO it's too prominent on the front of the tooltip, but for the usability reasons I've moved it: changeset:   296966:85edebbb6710
