Description

It seems that in the Quiz editing UI, the z-index of the tooltip is lower than that of some of the elements on the page so the tooltip ends up under for example the grading box of individual questions.

Already mentioned this on dev channel: great work adding the help dialog contents as an YUI tooltip - Tim pointed me to it yesterday. I was suspicious at first, but it really adds a lot of fluency compared to the popups.

Some of the standard themes (standard blue at least) set some page elements to have a z-index of 900. init_help_icons() in lib/javascript-static.js now sets the tooltip overlays to have a z-index of 1000.
