      <description>&lt;P&gt;The popup is set to fit on the screen so if the operation dialog is a bit off screen it will show above the selection. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I positioned the operation dialog mostly offscreen because otherwise the&lt;BR /&gt;popup doesn't display. It does NOT correctly auto-position. My guess is&lt;BR /&gt;there is a bug in the auto-positioning code, perhaps a problem such as&lt;BR /&gt;mixing signed and unsigned operands. I forgot to mention that I am running&lt;BR /&gt;Fusion 360 on a 2 monitor system with Fusion 360 on the monitor to the left&lt;BR /&gt;of my primary screen.</description>

&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It doesn't in a lot of cases... there are a lot of issues with the CAM tool tips in Fusion 360. The formatting is all over the place.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also how they display is sensitive to screen resolution. They are far too big on my 2009 Macbook Pro.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There is an issue with the cycle type drop-down in the Drilling operation as well. The tooltip displays if you expand the drop-down, but it flashes up partially then disappears completely (as the OP described).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I see these issues in Windows (single &amp;amp; multi monitor setup) and OSx (single monitor).&lt;/P&gt;</description>
