Description
The "make scaled coverage graph" interface has several question mark (help) icons next to text entry boxes.
When I tried to click them to view help information, nothing happened. Hovering the mouse over them also did nothing. They do not seem to have any function.
If these question marks do nothing, they should be removed. Were these meant as a placeholders? If yes, that's fine, but leaving them without any function is not good - it undermines users' trust that the site is reliable and well-designed.

Deployed for testing to https://bvctest6.bioviz.org.
Passes review as per discussion during Oct 19 scrum meeting.
Pushed changes to repo. Commit in branch IGBF-2923
Th conditional statement that handles input fields did not include FolderOutput field which is added in this commit.
Test Protocol:
Search for a .fasta file in Home directory and run Analyse from right-click menu. Click on the "Find enriched sequence motifs" button and check if the Output Folder Name field is present. Try running the analysis and if it appears as 'Submitted' in the Analysis History page
Sorry, I was wrong about their not doing anything. I just needed to hover the mouse over them a bit longer. When I did that, a tooltip appeared.
However, most of the tooltips are not very useful. They simply repeat the label, using slightly different wording.
The only tooltip that introduces new information is the tooltip for "Output file name". This tooltip tells the user about where the output file will be saved.
However, there is a problem with putting this information here. The tooltip pertains to the "Output file name" textbox, not the location of the file, which is not something the user can change, so far as I know.
I think this crucial information about where the results files and folders will be saved needs to be added to the interface, not hidden in a tooltip.
Therefore I think we should display this information in another part of the interface. I think it should be added to a new section below the "Run Analysis" button.
Other requests:
- The question mark icons are too close to the preceding letters. Can we add some some whitespace so that the interface looks less crowded?
- Let's also improve the tooltips, making them easier to read and more substantial looking. Can we make them look like the new tooltip for the heading on the "Manage Link" right panel screen?
The output folder name field is present, and when the analysis was run the folder was created and named correctly (and the analysis completed correctly).
Closing issue.
