I've encountered an annoying apparent glitch that I need help resolving: I placed an Information hotspot in my project. When I output the product, there is a line under the ht_info icon, and that line appears over other hotspot popups. I cannot figure out where it comes from or how to eliminate it. It moves relative to the position of the info icon.

Hi,
Its because you have no Hotspot title.
The call to display the text box is there but it has nothing to display so you are seeing an empty box.

Thanks. That was simple. However, why does the title I add continue to display over other pop-up windows that open from different hotspots?

Hi,
By the sounds of it you have entered the title in the text box in the skin editor.
This will then display the same text whenever the text box is shown which is not the desired outcome.

How this works is you add the Title in the Hotspot Viewer Mode.

Then back in the skin editor the tool tip text box has the placeholder $hs.

This placeholder links the Title text you enter in the Hotspot Viewer to the text box in the skin editor.
This means that the same text box can display different titles as set in the Hotspot Viewer Mode.
