This is a bizarre decision.

I noticed the removal of the tooltips last week and was confused and annoyed. It now requires several clicks to get to information that was readily available just by hovering.

I think I understand the idea to simplify and reduce but this is breaking something which was never broken IMHO. If you don't like where the tooltips appear or how they are rendered then as someone else mentioned earlier on, surely the *right* thing to do is to provide the same functionality (with hover) but display the information using the notification tool. That would work nicely (as long as there is a way of prioritising events to be displayed if there is a queue).

Having to click is a retrograde step IMHO.

Lucid is starting to look like a bit of dog's dinner in the design dept.
