[mythtv-users] Mythweb listings toll tips occasionally appear under cursor?

I was going to log a bug about this, but since I'm still running 0.25,
I have no way of determining if this may have been fixed:

In the mythweb program listings page I noticed behavior for a long
time that drove me nuts, and finally figured out what was going on.
It occasionally seemed as though, when I clicked the link to a program
(to schedule a recording) that the first click simply didn't
work...drove me crazy.

I've finally figured out what's going on:  There are situations where
the tooltip popup with the program details first appears under the
mouse cursor.  What appeared to me to be the click of the link not
working was actually the situation where the popup was appearing under
the cursor, causing my click to simply close the tooltip.

The scenario where this occurs is pretty specific:

1.  This ONLY occurs on the first mouseover event for a given
link...that is the one that makes the ajax call.  Once the tooltip
data has been retrieved for a program, the tool top always loads
properly offset from the link.

2.  This also tends to require two lines of text in the anchor tag, as
you get when there is both a title AND a subtitle, and that the
mouseover event is triggered when the mouse hovers over the second
line.

That is, you a) load the listing page, and then b) mouse over a
program subtitle.  The first time I do that, the popup appears aligned
with the upper left corner of the anchor tag, and thus, under the
mouse.

Again, I'd like to verify that this happens with the current build.
I've been looking at the prototype stuff involved and have yet to
figure out what's causing this.
