Description

Steps to reproduce:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
width="200"
height="200">

<s:BorderContainer width="100%"
height="100%">
<s:TextInput width="50"
right="10"
top="100"
errorString="This tooltip has not enough room"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
</s:Application>

Actual Results: The error tooltip hides the text input when it shows.

Expected Results: The error tooltip should be repositioned when the tooltip is resized.

Workaround (if any): Override the default ToolTipManagerImpl and call "positionTip()" when the tooltip resizes.

public class CustomToolTipManager extends ToolTipManagerImpl implements IToolTipManager2
{

...

override public function set currentToolTip(value:IToolTip):void
{
if (_currentToolTip != null)

{ _currentToolTip.removeEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE, onToolTipResize); }

super.currentToolTip = value;
if (_currentToolTip != null)

{ _currentToolTip.addEventListener(ResizeEvent.RESIZE, onToolTipResize); }

}

private function onToolTipResize(event:ResizeEvent):void

{ positionTip(); }

}
