 * When I enable tooltips, as soon as I mouseover the social icons, the webpage 
   jumps to the top. if I disable tooltips this does not happen.
 * any suggestions for a fix?
 * also, is there any way to turn off the email validation. i want to use the email
   social for a link instead of an actual email address.
 * thanks!

 * Hi there,
 * 1. What browser are you using? If you go to this address do the examples do the
   same thing?: [http://iamceege.github.io/tooltipster/](http://iamceege.github.io/tooltipster/)
 * 2. I’m working on this – I also ran into an issue where I wanted to link to the
   contact page instead of an email – the next version will allow both 🙂
 * Thanks!

 * Hi, thanks for the reply
 * 1. its not the browser, looks like its conflicting with a map widget i have on
   the same page (doesn’t happen on other pages). just as the tool tip is about 
   to appear, the page jumps to the top.
 * 2. great 🙂

 * Which map widget is it? I can see if there’s anything I can do on my end to fix
   it – but there’s a possibility the two won’t work together depending on how the
   widget is developed.

 * sorry, I should have been more specific, its built into the theme, not actually
   a widget. I assume it uses some script to allow map navigation and that is what
   is causing the conflict.
 * thanks

 * You can email it to me at [support@generatepress.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tooltips-problem/support@generatepress.com?output_format=md)(
   I think that’s allowed, mods?).

 * Who needs tooltips from the plugin when the browser makes its own? I know, maybe
   you don’t like those. 🙂 An issue is that every plugin will have its own style
   of tooltip and your site will be inconsistent. Of course, some people don’t care
   about consistency as much as I do. Speaking of consistency, it would be great
   to have a lightweight social media post-sharing plugin that uses these same icons.
