 EDIT// I can get them to display again via menu: Tools >Manage forms but NOTE: they are gone again when I restart IQ

 I've got my forms here, but sometimes I get this (which could be related -- if not, forget it):
 
 
The item properties section title appears empty, from time to time, when I start IQ (and doesn't come back until a restart).
(It's not a big deal though, as long as the properties do appear)

odd, I get this with a clean install: no forms showing.

Notice also that Current Grid item is not at the correct level (it should be a sub-item of Grids)
 
I was able to reproduce the missing Forms item and will fix it
 
Also found is that in v93, the Grid Groups are no longer shown. This is fixed in v94

Rarely here. If they were as flexible as moving fields in the properties pane (hierarchical organization), I'd use them more.

(Also, since the interface changes -- with grids in tabs, grids as panes, etc.--, it's a bit less useful. To me, maybe not for others.)

This display glitch presumably related Pierre - it disappeared on collapsing and expanding 'all fields'
(just posting for the record - only seen it once and cannot reproduce)

Forms now showing correctly Pierre :up:
 
another variation though on the above problem shown below: this time reproducible in clean install of IQ 94 with sample file.
 
Note that 'All Fields' displayed correctly this time, problem is only in current grid section

okay, but seems unintuitive:
tooltips show everywhere else simply on hover?

Well, the grid also works that way. I find tooltips disruptive, so using the Ctrl key seemed a good solution

Just checking, I see that in grids, the Sourcebar icon shows a tooltip, the Refresh icon doesn't.
 
But I see you mean over the column headers -- yes, they would definitely get in the way if they showed by default.
FWIW I would argue that these (Forms) icons are like a toolbar and should behave the same as the other toolbar / icons / menus.
