What?
Hide the equipment box when you hover over an object that has more Information that your screen can Show.
Why?
The box is over the description of the object, so you cant see what is under it.

Re: Hidden Object-Information
Could you please show an example? ctrl-print screen, Mspaint and ctrl-V work wonders.

Re: Hidden Object-Information
There's mods that auto-hide the minimap, which is far larger than the gun inventory:
https://mods.factorio.com/query/hide%20minimap
Hiding the gun inventory in a mod would hide the toolbar too though :/
https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/Con ... ewSettings
I guess one could add hiding the technology progress to that mod if it doesn't already.
You can also press L to see more info.
+1 don't cut off tooltip of large logistic containers (somehow..., maybe scrolling? *sigh*)

Re: Hidden Object-Information
I object on principle to the idea of needing to use a mod to be able to see information that the vanilla game is trying to show me. The display is already there, and if I am using my big screen monitor the issue doesn't happen, only when I am limited to the display on my laptop.
And as requested, here is an example of the entity information being hidden...

Re: Hidden Object-Information
I encountered this problem when I first started playing Factorio. I went to the options and turned off the minimap, and it has happened a lot less often.
However, this does become an issue when you hover over a logistic chest and the network has a ton of different items in it.

Re: Hidden Object-Information
This problem also occurs with a higher vertical resolution (3440x1440). Logistic network contents seem to be the most common problem.
Re: Hidden Object-Information
If you want to see the content of the logistic network, just press "L" to view it. On Small Resolutions there is a problem seen the whole entity information, turning off the minimap works best there.
Hope this is improved the readability in the new GUI rewrite anyway.
