Bug Description
This is in relation to bug #874430.
Tooltips appear for titles on the What's New and Top Rated sections of the front page of the USC. This is useful for truncated titles. However, these tooltips appear only when mousing over the text, not over the icon of the application or the empty portion of the tile occupied by the application in question. This requires users aim carefully in order to get a tooltip and is unnecessarily hard. I request this be rectified. Thank you.
