Bug description

I'm trying to place the tooltip at a dynamic offset based on a greater parent's width, and I've set place to right.

On chromium-based browsers, it works as expected:

The tooltip has the offset starting from the right of the node, as expected.

However, on Safari, it seems when place is set, the offset is set from the starting of the node, rather than the end:

I've reached this conclusion because when I remove place, the offset is handled correctly, but from the top rather than from the right. I've also tried to use a fixed offset rather than a dynamic one, and while place is set the result is the same.

You can find the code here. You can also reproduce it live on the Medusa documentation. (Edit: this is until this PR is merged which fixes the issue with a workaround)

I was able to fix it by detecting whether the current browser is Safari and setting the offset differently in that case.

Version of Package
v5.28.0

To Reproduce

Use the tooltip with offset + place set, and check it out on safari.

Expected behavior

The behavior of using offset + place should be consistent to handle it properly.
