Any ideas why my hover tooltips (inside the editor itself) don't work?

No matter what I do, the hover tooltips don't show up for me in the editor itself. I figured out that if I tab in and out of the program while hovering my mouse, then it'll show the tooltip. But apart from that, I have no idea why it doesn't show it on hover immediately.

And will it work when you stop the profiler?

Unfortunately still doesn't work even if I stop the profiler. :(

Is there something in your scene constantly forcing the editor to update the window? I think the mouse hover state for the tooltip is likely lost when the window redraws.

Still doesn't work even if I stop the profiler. :( Only shows up if I alt + tab into a new window, and then tab back into Godot.

Not really sure what you mean by this since I'm just starting out. Someone else suggested to close my windows / programs to see if it's because of that but i still don't get the tooltips correctly. If it helps, even if I start a new project with absolutely nothing in it, the tooltip still doesn't work correctly as well.

No, I mean I suspect there's something in your scene causing the editor to continuously update. Could be as simple as the rotating coins.
