Hopefully this can be fixed, game feels terrible without this script!

Just found a workaround until this script is fixed.

Edit the script and search for the following line:
ToolTip, %String%, X - 135, Y + 35

Place a semi-colon (;) at the start of this line to comment it then add the following line just below:

MsgBox %String%

Have to wait for a fix I think. The above technically fixes it, but the functionality isn't nearly as nice as before.

Edit: change the line suggested above to: MsgBox, 4096,, %String% and that should make sure the box stays on top and not behind POE.

Hi hazydoc,

Thanks for your very useful script.

However, I've found an issue with this script and one the latest Microsoft Windows 8.1 x64 update (KB3059317) from June 09 2015. This update when installed prevents your script's tooltip from being displayed correctly: either it does not appear or it just flashes briefly on the screen.

Maybe this issue is not with your script but with AutoHotkey (I'm using v. 1.1.22.02 U64).

Anyway, have you any idea to solve this problem?

Great work identifying the cause JackM.

The KB3059317 update is to address the following issue ( from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3059317 ):
"This security update resolves a vulnerability in Windows that could allow remote code execution if a user clicks a specially crafted link or a link to specially crafted content and then invokes F12 developer tools in Internet Explorer."

If you don't use IE or are not too concerned about the chance/risk of this vulnerability affecting you, removing the update from Windows resolves the issue. Edit: This update will come back if you automatically install all updates or don't tell Windows not to apply it.

If you are concerned, then I think you will have to wait for an update from AHK.

I did a little troubleshooting last nite, and I'm unsure how much this an issue with AHK. You can still get a tooltip to display just fine in POE. And of course as we've seen with this script it still does display, it just flashes for a second and then it's gone. So I wonder if it has something to do with how the tooltip is removed in the script?
