"Current Result" pop-up entirely covers the input box for 50-decimal precision

Issue #322 closed
Former user created an issue

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 322

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set precision to 50 decimal places
2. Type an expression into the input box
3. Mouse-over the input box

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Output is fine - however, a "Current Result: 16.0000000000000000..." line
is continually popping up when I'm using my mouse and keyboard to enter an
expression. When precision is set to full, this completely hides the input
box, and I can't find any way to make it disappear without just sitting
there waving my mouse around for several seconds. Hard on productivity :(

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 0.10.1, Mac OSX 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)

Please provide any additional information below.
 Could the "Current Result" pop-up be offset somehow? Or provide an option
to disable it? Thanks for your time!

    ``` This really inhibits usability -- you can't see anything once you start typing an expression where it can compute a current result. And getting it to go away isn't easy either, you just have to wait. ```

    ``` I just installed both 0.10.1 and 0.11-alpha side-by-side on my machine, in OSX, and 0.10.1 *does* still have the error: the "current result" is vertically offset (i.e. the problem is gone) in 0.11-alpha, however, so that will work great for me, thanks! ```
