Register/transaction entry - Action buttons. Button label popups steal focus and obscure the button.

SkBinRenfrow

:/ Please implement a longer hover delay, before the label popup appears, or not pull the label to the mouse pointer, as soon as it touches the button.
Depending on where the pointer meets the button, the label appears above the pointer, and can obscure the entire button, and it steals the mouse pointer focus, leaving nothing of the button to click on.
The user then has to move the mouse pointer off of the label, to remove it. They then must approach the button from the top, so as to leave enough button to click on.

While aesthetically pleasing, but obscure, it is mostly due to my hands no longer working well, and I'm needing more time to settle the mouse pointer on target.

Thank You :/

This behavior seems to occur within any of the account types.

This behavior has been ongoing for some time now. Thanks for raising it again, I agree it should be fixed.

@skbinrenfrow - I experience it too, so I understand the frustration. When the popup happens, have you tried clicking your mouse's right button?  Depending on what field you are on, it clears the popup, or it brings up menu that you can use, if needed. I know it doesn't exactly fix the issue, but it might help in the meantime.

Thank You for the comment.

For me, it most often happens with the 'save' button, and yes, I have tried right clicking, which does remove the label. However, my results vary wildly, with neural damage that has affected my fine motor control to the point where trying to right click causes my hand to move slightly enough to take the mouse pointer off of the button, and thus setting it up to pop up the label again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@skbinrenfrow well hopefully they can improve the location of their popups to make it easier for you and many other users.  I definitely will give my yes vote.

I must confess, I only used - 'Register/transaction entry - Action buttons' - for search terms, and missed those examples.

Thank You.
