I’m on a Mac. When I hover over say the Search down icon some text comes up in a little box which actually covers the ‘search down’ icon so I can’t click it. I have to keep moving the cursor until the silly hover text goes. What is this hover text called and how can I get rid of it?
Thanks.
What do you mean by “Search down icon”?
Can you post a screenshot of the problem (or a link to one)?
OK, see the down arrow highlighted. There will be a hover box with ‘Find Next’ in it. I want to suppress these hover notices as they get in the way and are so obvious anyway. I cannot show the actual hover as the screen capture requires the pointer to be moved to select the screen area on a Mac screen. Thanks.
I find the Help on Libre Office useless. I have never yet found what I was searching for.
They are often called Tool Tips - search the Help for tips
Search for ‘tips’ did not bring up any result. looked through the whole of the Preferences: Nothing. Thanks for the tip.
An alternative: You can pull the toolbar on the handlebar with the mouse button anywhere else, where it does not bother. Can this help you?
Actually that does thanks. I see now after searching Tools that tips are always enabled. That’s pretty useless in a system where the icons are designed to be pretty obvious.
Many thanks. I have changed it to false. Rather non intuitive and I had undocked the search panel so learnt a bit more. Thanks for your time.
Hello @happyhacker.
I am not able to test this on Mac right now, and I suppose some menu items will have other names, but I believe you will figure it out. Here is the the source topic and the solution steps for Win7 / LO 6.0.4.2
Tools -> Options... in top menu. I think it should be LibreOffice -> Preferences on Mac systemLibreOffice -> Advanced screen and select Open Expert Configuration
Search window
Help --- Tip --- boolean --- true line and press Edit to change value to False
Ok
