This one was hard to find any information on since it seems to be new with the latest expansion, but....

Every time I have my mouse over something, anything really... Station item, Skill Que item, etc..
I get a pop up on that item to do something with it. I'll be in the skill Que wanting to right click and add the item, but this pop up will
prevent it until I move away from the item and then back to it. Lingering with the mouse has become a challenge.

Any thought?

Been looking for this as well. Those Skill popups are a pain to read around.

It's supposed to only happen with things that have an interactive tool tip. And yes, it's awful UI design. imo, that's one of those things that should be a fireable offense. It's NEVER okay, devs who read my every post. If it's happening with any other tool tips, file a bug report. I think you can set a delay on (all) tooltips in the escape menu as well, but I'm pretty sure you can't shut them off entirely.

Set the tool tip delay to maximum

Yes. Tooltips delay to Long on the General Setting tab of the settings screen. Unfortunately it doesn't discriminate - it will delay the tooltips you want as well as the ones you want to get rid of!

Thanks.... adjusted it to long and it seems better.

Adjusted mine too but now when I'm in the fitting window it takes too long to see what is fitted. It's only the skills in the character window that seem an issue with the popup menus. It is a pretty awkward UI so maybe just that piece needs to be changed.

Those popups in the new tutorial are the worst. They hover over important information on the screen for extended periods of time and hide it, cannot be moved and often only go away when you finally managed to complete the next step. I found them to be a major pita.

Not sure, what I'd think of this kind of ui as a rookie.

Hey while we are at it, can I turn off the pop up for the sweep-scanner thing? Annoying location and it's too large. Especially if you have locked targets along the lower portion of the screen. I know what the symbols mean, I don't need a huge pop up with the symbol key every time I try to mouse-over my shield/armor/hull display.

Yeah, it's in the skills window that it's really annoying.

Would be nice if you could hold down some modifier like SHIFT etc. when hovering to inhibit the pop-overs.

Or instead of having them anchored to the mouse they could be anchored to the outside edge of the window or pane so they don't obscure things. Or even just below the pointer instead of where it is now.
