The default behaviour in OOo Writer is to show the field code as a tooltip.
Applications such as Zotero keep large amounts of data in the field code.  This
data is meaningless to humans so has no value to be displayed in a tooltip. 
Furthermore, the amount of data contained in the field code results in a tooltip
so large that unexpected behaviour results when the system attempts to display
it (specifically, Compiz crashes).

Apparently (I have never seen it), some ReferenceMark field codes contain
human-useful information which might be useful to display to users in toolitps.
 Zotero ReferenceMarks are not in this category, so I would like to have the
option to turn ReferenceMarks tooltips off (without affecting other, useful
tooltips).

This enhancement is submitted as a result of this bug report:
