leaving the section — a row that comes and goes would move everything below it on
every switch of the place.
Not every application reports where its caret is, and next to the caret is then
nowhere. The popup goes to the fixed point instead — the place, the offset and the
look all from that mode, none of them from the caret one. The mouse cursor would be
the nearer fallback and is the wrong one: it is wherever it was last left, off to a
side or on another monitor, while the eyes are on the caret. The fixed point is
always in the same place, so it is known where to look — and the look must come with
it, since a popup set small and quiet for the middle of a text goes unnoticed in the
corner of a monitor.
Which mode the look belongs to is explained in a tooltip next to the mode itself
rather than by a line of text in the section: the sliders below show other numbers
after a switch of the mode, and that is a question asked once.
