The bar location is not respected

Hello,

I am wondering if the placement of the PopClip bar is being properly respected. In my case, it is defined at the bottom, but that is not always the case. I assume that if it is located at the bottom of the screen, it should logically move above it; however, that is not what is happening.

I’m wondering if another application could interfere. I am indeed using another application that offers AI interactions with a popup in response; I have already submitted the request for this feature here ^^ but it’s a workaround solution while you can integrate it.

Thank you.

Hi, it’s a good question and comes up sometimes.

There is a small entry about this in the user guide

Note on position

The position setting only applies when you select a single line of text. If the selection includes multiple lines, the bar will appear below the pointer if you made the selection by moving the mouse downwards, and above the selection if you made the selection by moving the mouse upwards. This is to avoid the bar obscuring the selection.
