Hi Bob, One of your developers says that some browsers allow you to turn tooltips off entirely (for all websites). For example, here are instructions for Safari and Firefox:

No, no, the tooltips are not interfering with other browser functionality, just with my specialized usage: I want to run an experiment by loading up some selected tracks and have test users re-order them using visual criteria without knowing the details of the tracks (which would allow them to cheat).
