Clicking the cursor hides the kerning info hover behind the metrics hover

We get this

instead of this

Version 2.4.1 (954)

What do you mean by clicking the cursor?

3

Putting the cursor between two glyphs with a mouse click

Still like this

I did see it once or twice but currently can’t reproduce it.

I’m on non-retina 1440 x 900 resolution, not sure if that helps, but it happens almost every time for me:

Please check my video

/V/A kerning is -60,
/v.sc/a.sc is -70

Activating c2sc using this script shows the kerning as blank, along with the left kerning hover hiding behind the metrics hover.

Deactivating c2sc then shows -100 along with a.sc in the kerning group box (lagging, behind? because actually now its /A that is in the text tab). The -100 comes from the fact that now GLyphs thinks it’s showing the kerning pair /V/a.sc – which is wrong. It’s only if I move with the mouse to another glyph and back does it show the correct kerning. It’s pretty frustrating.

What version do you have? I can’t reproduce it in the latest cutting edge version.

Same here. When I click in between two characters, the grey info box is overlapped. When I move the cursor with the arrow keys, it’s not. I have the latest cutting edge (957).

What localisation do you use? I can’t reproduce this right now.

Georg, I just tried the following and saw the overlap:

Glyphs 2.4.1 (957)
0. Tab with multiple glyphs.

  1. Select Text Mode (T).
  2. Double click in the middle of the list of glyphs somewhere.
  3. Press T to switch to Text Mode.

This is where I see the overlap. If you move to another glyph with the cursor keys, as mentioned earlier, or press T a second time, it clears up.

Hope that helps reproduce it.

That should be fixed now (in version 964)
