The same problem is true in the other batch views but I assume its the same code

I don't have this problem

Version: Joomla! 3.4.8 Stable

@muhakh sorry if it wasnt clear - this is with 3.5rc

Able to reproduce on 3.5rc

I'm able to reproduce it too.

+1 reproducing it

It's caused by #9140

More specific that rule:

.modal-body {
    overflow-y: auto !important;
}

Which was the main role of that pr :(

Yeah, you can't have the tooltips go over the box (overflow:visible) and have the ability to scroll at the same time. It's either or.

Setting to needs review so maintainer ( @wilsonge et al) can make a decision if the PR should be reverted

What's the feeling here - which is least usable :(

Personally I would revert that single rule.
Currently, the tooltips are useless on any device as they do not show.
When we revert, some modals become unusable for devices with very small screens. But honestly, when I tried with resizing the buttons became unusuable (below screen) before the body was to small. The scrolling didn't help there because the buttons stay below the screen. Thus I doubt that line really solves anything.
Also it shows ugly scroll bars for me even if the window is big enough to show everything.

Taking off that rule does not solve the tooltips issue here.

In fact, reverting all PR #9140 does not get the tooltips back here.

You're sure you cleared browser cache?

tested on the 3 browsers, caches deleted indeed.

Strange.

I've created the PR to fix scrolling on webkit mobile browser to prevent a regression with new usage of BS modal to replace mootools old one.
The scrolling fix is not a nice hack but it's an known issue in BS2 and BS3 (due to webkit touch with no effect inside BS modals).

Great you've found this issue with tooltip, and thanks! (i didn't notice it when working on PR to fix scrolling).

I will open a PR to fix this tooltip issue in modals in arround 1 hour.

The reason is the layout language for batch, the container set for tooltip is wrong.
It is set to .modal-body, but should be set to .modal

Also it shows ugly scroll bars for me even if the window is big enough to show everything.

Not directly related to my PR on scoll fix, but to the padding set for modal-body.
Will try to fix it in the same time as fixing the tooltip. Your test would be welcome! ;-)

The scrolling didn't help there because the buttons stay below the screen. Thus I doubt that line really solves anything.

You mean resizing to a bery low height on a desktop device ?

I have created the PR for tooltip fix in batch modal. #9379

@Bakual still working on a way to add scroll only when needed (but even if working well on desktop, still an issue on my iOS phone...) and not having to set the overflow-y: auto !important in css ;-)

I think we can close here, as a PR ;-)

@Bakual
Looks like I was testing on the wrong test site. Apologies.
