A personal matter under discussion (2,5)

I believe the answer is:

at issue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'under discussion' is the definition.
(at issue means currently being discussed)

'a personal matter' is the wordplay.
'personal matter' becomes 'tissue' (tissue is a kind of matter. I am not sure about the 'personal' bit.).
'a'+'tissue'='AT ISSUE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for at issue that I've seen before include "under debate" , "In question, under discussion" , "Questionable" , "Being discussed or disputed" , "in dispute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
