Kibana: Tooltips open in a wrong offset

[maziyarpanahi]

Hi,

I am facing an odd problem. All tooltips are being displayed in a wrong offset. The lower I scroll in the page, the higher the tooltip goes. Until the tooltip is entirely out of the view of the window. I have tested this with all of my dashboards, 3 different browsers and two separated machines.

Here is an example of what's going on:

I have Kibana 5.6.3 and I have tested latest version of Chrome, Safari and Firefox with the same result. (OS: macos high sierra)

Hi Maziyar,

thanks for copying that issue to GitHub. I just recognized: those popups doesn't look like the regular Kibana popups (just checked out a 5.6.3 version to make sure, it hasn't changed since then).

Have you installed any Kibana plugins or browser extensions or something, that could mess up with the tooltips?

Cheers,
Tim

Hi Tim,

I have checked all the browsers without any extensions and the result was the same. But now that you mentioned plugin I went back and removed the only plugin I had: https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn_network
After restarting Kibana the tooltips are back to normal style/position!

I didn't think about plugin before cause I had a dashboard with few native visualisations and nothing from Network plugin, but still the same issue. So I guess plugin can impact the whole kibana even when they are not used specifically in the dashboard.

I will report this to the author.

Many thanks and have a great day tim,

Cheers,

@maziyarpanahi since we don't limit plugins in what they can do (e.g. a plugin could also add a custom button to the menu) they need to be able to inject code in every possible page. Also the CSS in general (that is causing that problem) is loaded everywhere, since loading CSS only depending on what visualizations show, would require quite a different architecture (and personally I am not sure, if it would really bring a lot of benefits).

@timroes many thanks for your detail response. For future references, I reported the issue to the author of the plugin and it has already been fixed:

Again, many thanks for your time and collaboration Tim,

Cheers,
