Mouse cursor covers important information
Description
When pointing mouse cursor at a map icons, it often reveals additional information. That's a convenient feature.
The inconvenient part of it is that it that parts of that additional information is usually hidden behind the mouse cursor. And while it is possible to figure out or ignore the missing part, it gets very irritating.
It would be probably better if, when displaying this extended information requiring mouse cursor, the information was either drawn in sufficient distance from the icon, or under the mouse cursor rather than under the icon.

Updated by Correction: it's not when pointing at map icons, rather at icons of ships in normal view (as apparent from the picture).

Problem - the description being drawn right below the icon in normal view - is still present in 1.2
The icon "active region" is larger now, though, so it is possible to move the mouse up almost out of the way while the icon still acts as if it's under mouse.
It would still be better if there was a small gap between the icon and the description, similar to map view.
