Resolving tippy.js Graphical Issues in Chrome with Popper.js Positioning

If you've been using tippy.js for creating tooltips on your web applications, you may have encountered some frustrating graphical issues, particularly in Chrome browsers. Users have reported that certain elements, particularly a tiny 1px height div with a dark background, appear blurred in some tooltips while remaining clear in others. This problem is attributed to how tippy.js, which utilizes popper.js, handles positioning—specifically through the use of the transform property.

In this guide, we’ll delve into the issue at hand and provide a simple, effective solution to ensure your tooltips render correctly across all web browsers.

Understanding the Problem

The root of the problem lies in the transform property that positions the tooltip itself. When using tippy.js v6.3.7, this positioning technique is powered by popper.js v2 which defaults to applying transform for GPU acceleration. While this approach can be advantageous in many scenarios, it can also lead to rendering issues in certain browsers, especially Chrome versions 94 and 96.

Signs of the Issue:

Blurred or distorted content inside the tooltip.

Random occurrences where tooltips in similar placements look different.

It's worth noting that Firefox users have not reported similar issues, highlighting a browser-specific rendering problem.

The Solution

Fortunately, resolving this graphical issue involves a straightforward adjustment in your code where the tooltip is instantiated. We will be modifying the popperOptions specifically to turn off GPU acceleration.

Step-by-Step Fix

Modify Tooltip Options:
You need to update the options when initializing your tippy.js tooltips. Here’s how you can do it:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

Implement the Change:

Copy and paste the fixed code snippet into your project where you instantiate tooltips.

Ensure that any previous tooltip configuration is replaced with this updated code.

Test Across Browsers:
After making these changes, test your tooltips across different browsers, especially in Chrome. You should notice a marked improvement in rendering clarity without losing the intended positioning of your tooltips.

Conclusion

The tippy.js tooltip issues caused by popper.js position settings might be inconvenient, but a few lines of code to disable GPU acceleration can rectify them quickly. With the proposed solution implemented, your tooltips should display clearly and consistently irrespective of the browser being used.

Key Takeaways:

The blurring issue in tippy.js tooltips arises from the default use of the transform property in Chrome.

Disabling GPU acceleration in popper.js solves the rendering inconsistencies.

Always test your tooltips in various browsers to ensure cross-compatibility.

By following these guidelines, you’ll maintain a professional and seamless user experience on your website. Happy coding!
