I've noticed that when using widgets on the the left side of the dashboard the text is cutoff as the tooltip box does not factor in widget location.

well the problem is that container is way to small, and likely in the logic it has to go somewhere and has a fixed width.

Yes, it may be small but the tooltip opens up outside of the container, so I'm not limited to the widget size. If I position this particular widget over more it's fine. I'm only raising this as I would think tooltips should take into account the browser sidewalls and adjust accordingly.
