Pop-up bubbles

Is there a way to reduce the size of pop-up bubbles? When I hover over some words in the Hebrew Bible the entry is too long, and it goes beyond the width of my screen.

Is there anything that can be adjusted so I can actually see the definition etc.?

Thanks, Matt

There's no way to reduce the size of those bubbles that I know of, nor to make them stay up so you can scroll in them. But there are all kinds of ways you can find the same info in other resources which will have more space and be persistent.

One way is to open the Information panel (Tools > Information). Then as you hover over words you'll get a full definition and parsing info in a window over to the right. If you click the Settings menu on the Info tool, you can set it to show you exactly the info you want. The most important one would be the Gloss (select the Gloss tab on the right and make sure "Show gloss" is ticked on the left). You can change the behavior of the mouse from hover to click so that the Info panel doesn't update every time you simply move the mouse around; you actually would have to click on a word to get the info.

Another way to get info on Hebrew words is to right click on one, select Lemma from the right-hand side of the popup menu, and then choose Look up on the left side. This will open a lexicon for you. (You can prioritize your lexicons to make sure your preferred one is the one that opens, and this would be the one that is shown in the Info panel as well).

Finally you can right-click on a word, select Lemma on the right-hand side, and then choose Bible Word Study on the left, to get more in depth information.

If you are using AFAT I see what you mean as the single line strip is not long enough eg. Deut 1:8, penultimate word. I could not adjust it by changing the zoom via the slider in the tab menu; that only affected the resource text.
