Pure CSS: Center Tooltip Above Text On Hover pt. 2

Question

Expanding on Pure CSS: Center Tooltip Above Text On Hover -- how does one make the tooltip hover centered relative to its container if the tooltip is wider than said container?

Ie. this (where drag drag drag gets cut off):

Should appear as:

HTML:

<span id="test" class="drag-hint"><span>drag drag drag drag drag</span>Hover me</span>

CSS:

.drag-hint {
  position:relative;
  margin: 50px;
}
.drag-hint > span {
  background: black;
  color: white;
  white-space: nowrap;
  display:none;
}
.drag-hint:hover > span {
  display: inline;
  position:absolute;
  top: -25px;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  text-align: center;
}

Answer 1

Here's the simplest solution using CSS3 transform.

JSfiddle Demo

.drag-hint {
  position: relative;
  margin: 50px;
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 0 1em;
  border: 1px solid red;
  /* for visual reference */
}
.drag-hint > span {
  background: black;
  color: white;
  white-space: nowrap;
  display: none;
}
.drag-hint:hover > span {
  display: inline-block;
  position: absolute;
  top: -25px;
  left: 50%;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
  text-align: center;
}

<span class="drag-hint">
    <span>drag drag drag drag drag</span>
Hover me</span>


<span class="drag-hint">
    <span>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.</span>
Hover me</span>
