Regression: Automatic tip positioning always places tips on the target element in 2.x

After upgrading from version 1.x to 2.x, the "Automatic" position setting for tips no longer behaves as expected.

In 1.x, selecting "Automatic" would position the tip where there was enough space around the target element (e.g., above, below, left, or right), avoiding visual overlap.

In 2.x, tips set to "Automatic" are always placed directly on the target element, regardless of available space, which often causes overlapping and layout issues.

Is this a regression or an intentional change in the 2.x branch? If intentional, is there a recommended approach to restore the previous auto-placement behavior?
