Upgraded to 6.4.6.2. When I hover the mouse over a footnote number in the main text, there is no popup showing me the text of the footnote. This used to work. I do have tools/options/LibreOffice/General/Extended Tooltips checked.
Running Debian buster, XFCE 4.12
No problem here on LibreOffice 6.4.6.2 (openSUSE Leap 15.2 and KDE/Plasma desktop and using packages from TDF=https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/). Did you check whether this appears while running in LibreOffice’s Safe Mode (Help -> Restart in Safe Mode) as well?
Safe mode did not solve the problem, nor, of course, a reboot. It sounds like the problem may be distro dependent. But thanks for trying.

I’d rather assume that it is dependent to your desktop manager XFCE (Installing a Buster test system right now - will return if I see the same issue).
I tested it on a different computer also running Debian Buster. The problem appears on both XFCE and LXDE. The other computer uses Debian’s video drivers, the first, Nvidia.
Opaque: What did you find?
Thanks.
From my tests: it is a problem when using the gtk3 VCL (See in Help -> About LibreOffice) The problem happens on all combinations of LibreOffice versions and desktop managers (Tested: MATE, LXDE, LXQt, Plasma and Xfce). Even “Plasma”-desktop doesn’t select VCL:kde5 but a mixed VCL:gtk3_kde5 which also does show the problem. I did not succeed running LibreOffice in VCL:kde5 mode, which normally could be forced using SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde5 libreoffice (forcing GTK3 on my other system also shows the problem) - Hence my conclusion is: This is a general problem of the GTK3 support of LibreOffice (if not of the GTK toolkit issue at all).
Opaque: Thank you for your work. It sounds like you are part of the LibreOffice team. Are you submitting a bug report. It sounds like you could do much more professionally than I. Thanks.

No, I’m just a user of LibreOffice like you.
