I play on a laptop at 1366×768 resolution, and the mouse-over tooltips for Glyph of (Lesser) Elementals (when equipped) is too tall to fit the screen. A suggestion may be to only display the one for your current attunement, or have it detect when the screen isn’t tall enough to display it in one column and split it into two?

(I used to play with 1920 × 1080 on my older desktop, but I actually found it more disorienting than on this smaller screen. I guess I’m one of those people who don’t like a graphically “immersive” experience.)

(I also had to put it into windowed mode in order to make a screenshot of the mouse-over. Can we please have mouse-overs appear on screenshots like they did in GW1???)

I’m playing on 1600×900 and it’s basically the same. What’s interesting is, that my friend is playing on somewhere close to 1920×1080 (not sure, I know the resolution is way higher than mine) and also has this issue.

I reported this 11 pages ago: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/BUG-Glyph-of-Elementals-1/first#post4394442 Maybe they’ll merge the threads. Maybe they’ll fix the bug.

My resolution is 1920×1080.

It needs to display only the information for your current attunement.

Since my 1920×1080 machine is on another continent, I borrowed my buddy’s 1920×1200 screen to test. On “Small” interface size there, everything fits with a bit of wiggle room; with “Normal”, just barely.

The screenshot in the top post from my small screen is using “Small” interface.

Same problem, am on a much lower res than 1920×1080 even so makes sense to just display the current attunement’s elemental anyway. Even if it’s a few kb saved collectively thousands of elementalists having redundant data does cause problems over time. The game display should be operable on all resolutions if our machines meet the requirements.
