Many fewer "mouse-overs" in Dorico Pro 4?

[Tkearneyone]

I’ve been running Dorico Pro 4 for a few hours now - I’m certainly liking it!

However, I noticed a lot fewer “mouse-over” hints as I mouse over UI elements (I’m on Windows 10) than I see in Dorico Pro 3.5.

Is this by design, or an oversight?

Especially when using the richer UI in Dorico 4, I’d appreciate more hints as to what the UI element will do when I click it!

Dorico 4 hint popups

Tooltips for a number of options, including in the Write mode toolboxes, aren’t available at the moment due to technical reasons. See an earlier response from Daniel here –

I wonder if it is at all related to this problem:

Cannot click on the icon flyouts in the left panel

I am trying to select one of the 4 insert modes. I can right-click on the insert button and it displays the flyout of the 4 mode buttons, but when I click on any of them, the flyout disappears and the first mode remains in effect. This is true for all the buttons that have flyouts (create voice, dotted notes, tuplets, grace notes) Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I have Windows 10. I can set the modes through the Write menu.

The flyout problem doesn’t relate to tooltips per se, but does seem to involve recognizing mouse events, which is at least in the same neighborhood as the tooltips.

Yes, I get tooltips for ui elements pretty much everywhere except the top ones in the frame window. So for example not for the transport controls, or the power button next to them (whatever that does) or anything on that horizontal level.

The power button enables audio playback; if it’s not activated, samples won’t be loaded. This is useful if you have, for example, two files open simultaneously.
