QCAD Professional 3.27.1.0 X86_64 on Linux Mint 20.1
I'm a brand new QCAD user, just beginning to learn the application. I'm finding it quite frustrating that tool tips do not reliably appear on mouseover. One moment they pop up as expected and the next, either as I move the mouse cursor over a different tool in the matrix or when moving back to the matrix from the drawing, nothing happens. Soon after, tool tips will again appear on mouseover, perhaps only for a few seconds or for only a few tools, before vanishing again.
This is the sort of thing that isn't much of a problem for experienced users, but it is a significant issue at the beginning of the learning curve. Any guidance will be appreciated.

If the tool tip occurs don't move the mouse pointer and the tool tip will stay for about 10 seconds.UncleDoug wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 9:36 pmI'm a brand new QCAD user, just beginning to learn the application.

I also recommend to keep an eye on the Status Bar - it will tell you step by step what a tool is expecting from your input. To turn the Status Bar on or off go to Menu / View / Status Bar.

Re: Erratic Tool Tip Display
Thanks, for the advice, but the problem is that the tool tips don't consistently pop up on mouseover. When they do, they continue to display until the mouse cursor is moved.
When the tool tips don't pop up, the tool tip info doesn't appear in the status bar, either.

Thanks for trying.
The erratic behavior continues on my system.
At the moment, I suspect that this may be a QT issue.
