Description Silenio Quarti CLA 2012-08-14 14:29:00 EDT
Running from HEAD with the new layout structure (no dijit).

1) Open an editor for textView.js
2) Hover over the annotations (either on left or right rulers)

Hover helps do not show up.

The tooltip div has zIndex=100, but it is behind the editor. It works if I changing it to 1000.
Comment 2 Silenio Quarti CLA 2012-08-14 17:41:29 EDT
The rightPane zIndex is 500. Why is this necessary?
Comment 4 Susan McCourt CLA 2012-08-15 11:58:58 EDT
thanks, Silenio.  I realized last night (while away from computer) that there would probably be some z-index ramifications.  I fixed the key assist panel, but not content assist or the hovers.

> The rightPane zIndex is 500. Why is this necessary?
The z-index needs to be set for the various panes to ensure the fixed header and footer appear above the content areas.  The number 500 was somewhat arbitrary, I was trying to leave plenty of room for gradations of z-index.

Per discussion with Silenio in bug 387298, I have restored this to its old value of 100 and documented "100" as the magic number that ensures things are on top.
