We talked about the question whether or not to have _simple_ tooltips in
general [1,2,3]. Extended tooltips are available when the offline help is
installed per configuration or via Shift+F1. Despite some technical challenges
this works well and provides a good explanation for the whole dialog.
The challenge with simple tooltips is in what level of detail we would
implement those tips. Every control, and explain the percent, or major and not
fully self-explanatory controls only [4]. Furthermore it would be necessary to
have multi-line tips.
While the decision is not made finally we likely keep the current approach and
provide tooltips optionally for controls that need explanation.
For this particular ticket it means either WONTFIX or to have a one-liner
tooltip for the dropdowns that might be not too helpful, though.
