when you hover over an image? is it possible? i have a widescreen laptop, and sometimes,with the items that have big descriptions, part of it gets hidden so i can't see what it says at the top/bottom.

it's sort of annoying. is there any way to turn off the avatar preview? i never really had this problem before.

It's a fairly new feature, and a lot of people hate it for that very reason. There's a thread in Suggestions about making it something you can turn off, but for right now you're stuck with it.

There isn't any way that I know of. :'c I have the exact same problem and its especially annoying during questing. Hopefully they do something about it.
