" Rationale: Too long, and using unnecessary information which can be understood from context of the field and screen |
Placement or Positioning
Preferred usage for a tooltip is with a small "triangle" at the outline to point mouse cursor (when technically feasible).
...
Mouse cursor enters the target area: display visual feedback of hover within 0.1 seconds..
If cursor remains stationary within the target area for 1.5 seconds (including the loading time of content), display tooltip on the location of the cursor currently within the target area (position of tooltip doesn't change while the cursor is inside target area)
If cursor had moved to another target area in less than 1 second, remove current tooltip and show tooltip for the new target after 0.1 seconds
Keep displaying the tooltip until the cursor has left the target area for 12 seconds or unlimited depending on the content complexity. Once the cursor left the target area close the tooltip after 0.1 seconds
...
