History

In early November after Auctionator did it's most recent update, users started having problems with large tooltips or disappearing tooltips.  Users tracked it down to this library interacting with addons that set the TooltipMover (specifically MoveAnything and TipTop).

My issue

My specific issue is that my tooltip goes empty except for one line from Auctionator when I have both Auctionator and TipTop enabled.  If I disable either addon it works fine.  Auctionator has Release-70100-27 embedded in it.

With Release-70100-28 installed separately I first see a one-line tooltip and then on second mouseover the full tooltip appears.

If I use what elaundar posted (see below) with all addons enabled, then everything works without issue.

Solutions

This comment specifically fixes my disappearing tooltip issue between Auctionator and TipTop:

The tool tip issue appears to be due to LibItemUpgradeInfo/Core.lua line 180.  Versions Release-70100-27 and -28 of that library cause the blank tool tip because both addons attempt to set the tooltip anchor.

 

The fix (hack) is to edit Auctionator/Libs/LibItemUpgradeInfo-1.0/Core.lua and comment out (double dash) or remove this line:

 

        GameTooltip_SetDefaultAnchor(scanningTooltip,anchor)

The right fix will likely require the Library author to handle replacement tooltip addons, but this will fix it for now.

However, it doesn't seem anyone came and reported the problem here...so hopefully this can be fixed somehow.

Fixed because Auctionator updated their version of this library.
