Many tooltips in PQ3 can appear with their right side cut off by the iPhone’s notch.

**Background**

I use an iPhone 12 Mini. This model has a “notch” at the top of the screen — a space reserved for sensors that causes the display to be less rectangular.

**Suggested fix**

The algorithm for tooltip placement should take the notch into account, perhaps by using the “safe area” API.

**Workaround**

Usually I can rotate my phone so the notch is on the left. Sometimes this is awkward (e.g. while charging or when I have “orientation lock” enabled).

**Screenshots**

(Edited to roughly indicate the area obscured by the notch)
