I’m using the qTip plugin for tooltips. In IE9, the qTip “slides” in when it appears. Sometimes it slides in from the top of the screen, sometimes from the left, seemingly randomly. Everything else works fine, just like it does in other browsers — the qTip displays with the correct styles, and disappears normally when I leave the element.

I’m stripped it down to all defaults, so my code is now 

    $('.myclass').qtip({});

What is causing IE9 to make the tool tips slide in like that? Is there a way to stop it? In every other browser I’ve tried, the tool tip just appears. The IE9 animation is not terrible, but kind of distracting.

Is anyone else using qTip in IE9? Are you seeing this behavior?

Edit: the sliding behavior is predictable (not random, as stated above). The first time you trigger a qTip, it will slide in from the upper left-hand corner. The second and subsequent times you trigger that particular qTip, it will slide in horizontally from the left-hand side.

    If you are using the first version of qtip you can take a look at this forum post for a solution. It looks like you will need to modify the plugin in order to fix the issue. If that doesn’t work you can also try the solution in this post.
