I have had this issue since day one. No head tracking, happens on the ground as well.
I don’t use Tooltips anymore and no customer has complained so I assumed it was only me who had this issue. I also assumed it would have been fixed by now.

When you move slowly the tooltips are fixed in 3d space. When you go fast they snap to the top left corner.

Thanks for the additional demonstration. To be honest I might have just missed it pre SU5 and it could have been like that for a longer time. What’s interesting tho is the fact that you are experiencing it on ground as well.

Hello,

I tried with our default aircrafts and could not reproduce the behavior.
Any chance you could send us your project to investigate ?

Hey Boris,

this bug is a general phenomenon for a certain type of tooltip. As described in the video, it only happens with legacy tooltips that are just text. The default aircraft do not use such tooltips anymore, that is why you cannot reproduce it with those.

These are the types of tooltips that are affected.

Thank you, I was able to reproduce the issue and logged it in our backlog.
I will keep you updated.
