Screencast showing tooltip behaviour on multiple monitors.

When hovering over UI elements, tooltips are restricted to the left-most monitor.

This is similar to bug 92131 reported for an older version.

I am using Arch Linux, running LibreOffice 5.0.0 release version.

Please see attached screencast.

Not reproducible on Windows 7sp1 64-bit en-US with dual monitor
Version: 5.0.0.5 (x64)
Build ID: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b
Locale: en-US (en_US)

 Tips (or Extended tips when installed and set active) appear in the general vicinity of the mouse pointer -- or if applicable to whole frame with focus, somewhere in the frame.

If mouse cursor is positioned near edge of monitor panel the tip does extend across and into the adjacent panel. But not the detached tips shown in screen cast of OP.

Launching on "secondary" panel as shown in screen cast does not change things on Windows.

This only happens with the GTK3 backend. If LibreOffice is started with "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk", the problem is not present.

Confirmed in comment 3.
Comment 5 Caolán McNamara 2016-03-09 17:14:18 UTC 
This *should* be fixed in master now seeing as we are using native tooltips, unless there is some additional problem
Comment 6 Caolán McNamara 2016-03-09 17:16:25 UTC 
Should work in current 5.1 I think
Comment 7 Sebastiaan Lokhorst 2016-03-09 18:14:38 UTC 
I can confirm that this is fixed in 5.1.
