Incorrect tooltip positioning

[alexwhitman]

See screenshot:

The tooltip is positioned far to the right and below the actual position of the error.

Running atom 1.24.0 on Ubuntu 18.04 (beta) with linter 2.2.0 and linter-eslint 8.4.1.

This issue belongs to the linter-ui-default repository, and looks very much like steelbrain/linter-ui-default#489

Can you try the fix in the comment at steelbrain/linter-ui-default#489 (comment)?

[alexwhitman]

Apologies for the wrong repo. I tried the fix but it didn't have any effect.

[steelbrain]

Can you try opening the devtools console and see if you have an error message there?

[alexwhitman]

No errors in the dev console.

How are you triggering the tooltip? Keyboard or mouse?

I notice the tooltip is much larger than the text, do you have any DPI scaling going on?

Could also be a custom styling problem. Does this still happen if you remove all custom styles and use one of the default themes?

[alexwhitman]

Ah, it was this rule in custom styling:

atom-text-editor {
  transform: scaleX(1.0000001);
}

which is a workaround for some visual artifacts in atom/atom#15737 (comment)

Thanks for reporting back! Closing this as it isn't an issue here 😉.
