Hi Richard,
I can answer your first question:
It is about selective masking of symbol levels behind labels and point
symbols, in order to create nicer map labels and symbols. You can mask
darker symbol levels behind a label or symbol, but retain lighther
symbol levels (like a lake, forest, etc.) without getting these ugly
white halos behind the labels.
See also https://oslandia.com/en/offre-qgis/selective-masking/
and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/30747
There seems to be a bug with the tooltips - yes.
Greetings,
Andreas

Using the Layer properties dialog (in master), I spotted an item
'Masks'. Could not find any description or clue in the stuff shown.
But I saw that the tooltip of it shows (see screenie):
"If the remove duplicate nodes options is activated, duplicate vertices
will automatically be removed from geometries which are edited on this
layer".
Found a documentation item:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues/4368
first question would be: what is it, but second question: is the tooltip
the right one? Is it a copy/paste thingie? Or is it just not (yet)
telling what this tab is for :-)

Richard Duivenvoorde
