Re: [Qgis-user] Map tips not showing
Hi Adam, I should have said to activate it from the "View" menu, by clicking on "Show Map Tips" there, I did find that the first time I tried with the icon it did not seem to work, but when I clicked on it in the "View" menu it did start working, and after that I was able to toggle it on and off with the icon. Sounds like you are doing what is necessary, and Andrea's suggestions will hopefully get you there, especially the last one try it with a new user profile with no plugins (Settings/User Profiles/New Profile...). In my trouble shooting I was able to reproduce your problem on an older install of nightly/DEV (3.29.0, f23bdbdad1 , Qt 5.15.2, Python 3.9.5, GDAL 3.3.2) with a fresh user. Unfortunately the build for nightly for MacOS is failing right now, but I can confirm that map tips work in the latest LTR and PR (3.30.0). So it may have been fixed already? but the fix doesn't work on your build for some reason. You may want to report this as a bug, just be prepared for the response "it works on my machine", it may be specific to your Linux, or to the QGIS build that you are using. By the way, please forgive my use of ESRI terminology when I called the "Layers" panel the "table of contents". Old habits are hard to break. -Thayer On Thursday, March 23, 2023 at 04:36:55 AM EDT, qgis-user-requ...@lists.osgeo.org wrote: From: Adam Nielsen To: qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Map tips not showing Message-ID: <20230323124538.3c8e2...@vorticon.teln.shikadi.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Hi Thayer, Many thanks for your reply! > Make sure you have the layer selected in the table of contents I can't find anything called "table of contents" but there is a panel called "Layers" where I can tick/untick them to show/hide layers, and if I click on a layer to select it (a layer with HTML in the Display properties) then the layer name is drawn in the layer list with a blue background to indicate it is selected, however I still don't see any popups when hovering over that layer's markers on the map. > and hover over the feature for several seconds (e.g. 2 or 3).

Hi Andrea, > have you tried if the issue does occur also using a new QGIS user > profile [1]?

I had a look at Flatpak but it seemed rather scary - it wanted to install a whole bunch of dependencies - Gnome, KDE, etc. so I didn't want to risk it breaking my system. Instead I downloaded the Docker version and ran that, and that worked - it showed the popups! However that is version 3.31.0-Master, apparently a development version, but with an older Qt version (5.15.3, vs my system with 5.15.8). It's also running an older Python (3.10.6 vs 3.10.10), older GDAL (3.4.1 vs 3.6.3), and so on. I will experiment a bit more with different versions, but it looks like the problem is that some newer library version breaks the popups?

Hi Adam, have you tried if the issue does occur also using a new QGIS user profile [1]? Have you tried if the issue does occur also installing and using the same version of QGIS from Flatpack [2]?

Re: [Qgis-user] Map tips not showing
Hi Adam Make sure you have the layer selected in the table of contents and hover over the feature for several seconds (e.g. 2 or 3). When I say hover, I mean do not move the pointer. Make sure that there is a check mark by "Show Map Tips" in the "View" top menu. You might want to try changing the tool, and click on the map window or pan the window and try hovering again. Also you may want to restart QGIS and start from scratch setting up the Display tab of the Layer Properties. I am using the same QGIS version but it is built with an older Qt, etc. and it works for me, I just have to change the text or background color to make it legible.
