Re: [ARCHIVED] Tooltip indicates wrong object

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
What is your current game version number? 1.95.207.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? None
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure how it happened, but I *think* this is how to reproduce it... 1. hover over an interactable 2. move mouse cursor off screen while still hovered over the object. 3. bring cursor back to screen and hover over a new object.
What happens when the bug occurs? Objects will sometimes display the wrong tooltip or overlap an incorrect tooltip on top of the correct one.
What do you expect to see? Tooltips should only appear on their respective item/object
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

this bug isn't major - a simple save+quit to main menu and reloading the save fixes the issue. i would have a screenshot below - but for some stupid reason this form doesn't allow embed images because not being able to quickly screenshot and drop it in this box as an embed is definitely a helpful feature for a bug report forum (but i'm getting off-track).

the steps above may reproduce the bug, i wasn't really paying attention when it happened - though this wouldn't be the only UI bug i've seen in this game.¨¨

Edit By Crinrict: removed Tag to from Title. Please only add platform & pack tags yourself.

    @YourFriendJessie Ah, ok.

    I'm going to merge this with the tool top being wrong thread. Usually it happens a lot for beds but I've seen others as well.

    Looks like basically the same issue to me though although you did say they sometimes both show for you ? If you happen to grab a screenshot of that as well, please post tha too
