Service Portal help text (popover) misaligned after Zurich upgrade

Hi Community,

After upgrading our ServiceNow instance to Zurich, we’ve noticed an issue in Service Portal where the help text/info icon popover on catalogue variables is misaligned.

What’s happening

  • When clicking the info (i) icon next to a variable label, the help text popover appears offset from the icon (not aligned correctly).

  • This was working as expected before the Zurich upgrade.

  • The issue occurs consistently on catalogue item forms.

What we’ve checked

  • No recent changes to the catalogue item or variable configuration

  • The issue appears to be UI/CSS related rather than data-driven

  • Happens only in Service Portal (not in the platform UI)

Environment

  • ServiceNow version: Zurich

  • Affected components: Catalogue item variable help text / popover

Question
Has anyone else experienced popover/help text misalignment in Service Portal after upgrading to Zurich?

  • Is this a known issue or UI change in Zurich?

  • Are there recommended fixes?

Any guidance or examples would be much appreciated.


I have attached a screenshot for reference.

NOTE: We are not using any custom widget or theme for the portal; both are OOB.

Thanks in advance!
