Same problem here. If you're using this for form help this is really essential, since it's likely that the long text fields are the ones that will require explanation! I am also using BeautyTips 7.x-2.x-dev and CKEditor.

@blackclover —
You don't need to subscribe! Not only because you created the issue so you're already subscribed, but also because there's now a Follow button in the upper right part of the issue page. Use that instead.

FWIW, here was my hacky work-around for this problem:

  • I created a text field above the long text field, and for the field label I put "Guidelines for answering question 7" (or something like that.) I put the help text on that field.
  • Then I used CSS to remove the border on the text input and replace it with a help icon, as well as setting the pointer to cursor.

A total hack, but now people can click on the help icon (blue circle with a question mark) and get the BeautyTips popup directly above the long text box. So it's better than nothing.

This is also an issue with CKEditor 4.3.1.3ecd0b8 and TinyMCE (3.5.10) Any ideas?
