I have a lot of acronyms in my thesis and I am using the acro package. I would like to know if there is an option to make it possible for the acronyms within the thesis to display a mouse over definition, this is obviously only a function useful for the PDF output file, is there a possibility to make them display the long name if the mouse is hovered over the acronym term?
(FIXED) Edit: problem using the \tooltip macro (FIXED)
To AlexG I encountered a problem with using the \tooltip macro whereby you get the following overlapping of acronyms:
I can't work out why or how to fix it, but its an essential flaw of the \tooltip macro as, when I remove it it disappears: please feel free to play around with this MWE:

\begin{document}
The flexibility of fuel cycle use is one of the attractive features presented by \acp{htgr}. Initially \acp{htgr} took advantage of the efficient uranium-thorium fuel cycle which combined \ac{heu} as fissile fuel with fertile thorium that would breed fissile \nuclide[233][92]{U} during operation. With the non-proliferation treaty in force by 1970 a \ac{leu} fuel cycle was designed and adopted to avoid diversion of fissile material.
