Scaling textboxes upwards instead of downwards

Hi everyone,

I have a (possibly) simple question ...

The image below from the Skin Editor shows my information hotspot icon and its associated text box.

The text box pulls its text from the hotspot 'title' tag which, in the following example, reads:

"This is a bigger information hotspot<br><b>Click to open</b>"

If this text fitted on a single line it would sit above the hotspot icon just fine, but as I've put line breaks in, the box now stretches down and partly obscures the hotspot icon.

Is there a way to make the text box auto-size in the upward direction rather than downwards?

Many thanks for your help!

David :)

HI David,
Sorry no.
You'll have to move the text box manually up.
Or as we do in the simplex skin place them under the hotspot image :wink:
Or deselect word wrap so it expands sized to side.

I have reported this as a minor bug, please see Issue #1188

Hi Hopki,

Many thanks for the prompt reply.

Yes I had considered putting the text box below, it was only really a minor niggle ;) Glad it's been reported as a feature request though!

Thanks again,

David
