Missing Tooltips - AC22

I seem to have turned off tooltips, which appeared when I hover over icons.
I can't find how to turn them back on in the Work Environment, by right clicking the toolbar, or with the Help menu.
Can you explain how to toggle this feature back on?

I don't have that option?
A lot of weird things have happened with menus etc in the past month or so.
Is it related to the direct Twinmotion link I activated?

Try re-applying the standard work environment to see if that menu item comes back.
Or you can just re-apply the 'Command Layout Scheme' section of the work environment so you don't reset all the other settings.

I am not sure if that will remove the Twinmotion menu or not - I am not sure how that works - whether it is part of the work environment or whether the add-on creates its own menu (I assume the latter).

What does your "Show Help Tags" do? It has the same icon and menu location....

Imagine, in the Help menu! The one place I never would have thought to look!

I spent hours searching everything in Work Environment, onscreen view options, etc.-

Thanks.

This may sounds strange coming from an experienced GDL coder but I was not aware of the "Show Tool Tips" command in the help menu and just recently it got turned off and I couldn't work out how to turn it back on. Lucky my second move was to come here and do a search... this forum is a great resource!
You may be amused to find out that my first move was to go to the help menu to check the GDL guide and Reference guide, hence I scanned right past this command (in the abundance of water the fool is thirsty).

You are welcome Kristian.
By the Quantity and Quality of your late work it is perfectly understandable!
Cheers,
