Summary0009979: Inline control hover tag labels get cut off by screen edge
DescriptionEditor pane
Left sidebar is open/visible and contains a plugin

If you add "Inline Controls" for this plugin.
When an inline control is first added and you hover over it with your mouse the hover label is completely visible because it loads a little off center from the left side of your screen.

However, if you move your mouse away from that inline control and then bring mouse back and hover over it again, then the hover labels show up centered with the inline control fader.
If the text in the hover label is long enough, this causes beginning of the hover labels text to get cut off by the left side of your screen.

This label also shows up while using mouse scroll wheel to adjust the inline control value.

I would probably program the hover labels left edge to automatically align with the left edge of the inline control fader itself, this way the text with never get cut off by screen edge.

Hope this helps

Wow, that is an interesting find, I never noticed that!. Same for Panner and other places where a "persistent tooltip" is used.
