Adjustable Tooltip Size

I have a tooltip in one of my dashboards that displays a table when you hover over the original visual. Some of the tables have 8 or so rows, but some of them only have 1 or 2. When the tables with 1 or 2 rows are displayed, the size of the tooltip stays the same, which means it covers my original visual but only with a white square.


I propose the idea that the size of tooltips can be adjustable based on how much data the tooltip displays. This way if it only displays a few rows I only see them, instead of a few rows and an inch of blank space beneath it.


This would make any smaller tooltips look more stylish, as the current one-size-fits-all tooltips can look clunky when there isn't enough data to fill them.


Thank you

RE: Adjustable Tooltip Size

I would like to see the tooltip box size also expand if there is more data to display. The scroll bars are not usable which means some data rows remain hidden due to the fixed size of the tool tip box. Perhaps there could be a setting to control the maximum tooltip box size
