What happened?

When using the chapter editor, hovering over a error icon when a track has an identical time causes the message "Invalid start time must be greater than or equal to previous chapter start time" to appear, which is expected. However, it then covers the playback controls.

What did you expect to happen?

Error message should appear above the playback controls as there is where the screen real estate is.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Go to the Chapter Editor.
  2. Click on the icon "Insert Chapter Below". This will create a blank chapter with an identical time and the error icon for identical times.
  3. Hover over the error icon.

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: The message should not cover the playback controls.
WHAT REALLY HAPPENS: The message appears to the left over the playback controls
