These popups are really annoying. You can mitigate that by increasing the time until popups appear, but that also increases the time until useful popups show up, like weapon tooltips. I don’t understand why these popups don’t appear on the side. From my personal experience, I always go up or down in a list in EVE, never sideways. Popups appearing above/below the hovered over entry block you from doing what you want to do.
