It seems there isn't an exposed regular setting (and, sadly, a toolbar item for that), but for anyone wondering how to do it in, this forum post shows you how to do it on Expert Configuration: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-turn-on-tooltips/35411 Success! Bug averted indefinitely. But please do fix this, as we should not be expected to gimp LOo in order to be able to use it or to consider any of this normal. It makes the app feel glitchy and unpolished, because that's precisely what it is, sorry. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
