I'm pretty sure this was on the old forums for a while, but whatever, it still needs changing.

As can be sen from the image above, details of this lance are cut off by the bottom of the screen. This happens because tooltip that pops up when hovering over an item has a fixed resolution and doesn't in any way account for screen resolution. This is clearly not a good idea as it makes checking certain items impossible for certain people.

Here are several ways to fix this issue:

1. Flavour text goes on the bottom
All demonic lances have the same item description so letting that be cut off isn't a big deal; I can read the description from another demonic lance and it will be identical. The same cannot be said of special upgrades, artisan upgrades and reforges.

2. Widen the tooltips
If the tooltip were twice as wide, it would take fewer lines to fit all of the lance's details so cutting off the bottom would be less of an issue.

3. Scaleable tooltips
If the tooltip is taller than the game's current vertical resolution, it should shrink itself down to match.

4. Multi-column tooltips
This one's pretty self-explanatory. If all the details don't fit in one column, use two.

4. Add A Scrolling Function
Again, pretty self explanatory. Thanks to AlmostNotSuper for suggesting it.

5. Add a scrolling function
As suggested by AlmostNotSuper. This is fairly self explanatory.

    Never thought I'd see an Orkane ever again.
