Tooltips Off Screen in Trayer + Openbox

So the title basically says it all but a picture says a thousand words:

I am using Openbox as my WM and trayer to display my tray icons. Up until a few weeks ago this worked perfectly but then this problem started happening. It appears to only happen for GTK2 apps since nm-applet displays properly below the tray.  The command I use to start trayer in my ~/.config/openbox/autostart is:

trayer --edge top --align right --expand true --widthtype request --transparent true --alpha 255 --height 20 &

There doesn't appear to be any relevant topics/help anywhere on the internet, or at least I couldn't find any in the past three or so weeks. Could anyone help me figure out what the problem is?

Re: Tooltips Off Screen in Trayer + Openbox

(i'm far from expert) but isnt LXpanel assigned for this kind of things so some /etc/lxpanel/(default)/panels should be look at or ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels if you created your customization (as it is noted in manual). You should look up /etc/lxpanel/(default)/panels section

Plugin {type =tray}

dedicated for that.

I'm not using lxpanel. The only things I have on my desktop are conky and trayer.
