Pierre : is there a reason why the tooltips are incomplete in the
 
1- properties pane (only the fields name is shown),
2- for grid cells
3- Grid tabs (the "Description" info, when fairly large, is truncated here -- sometime though, I'd like that info as it gives directions on how to use the grid)
 
If I want the complete info, I absolutely need to have the new notifications pane opened, but I don't want to open it all the time (especially when the properties pane is opened) as it takes too mush screen estate.
 
So, if possible  : can we have the complete info in the properties pane + grid cells + Grid tabs tooltips too (like for the fields headers in the grid)
 
 
 
P.S. : I understand that the notifications pane is the new display device for tool tips info, but please don't underestimate tooltips as such... They're VERY useful, and I personally like to have as much space as possible for the grid / properties pane / HTML pane content on my little laptop screen. Personally, I find that waiting 1 s (or less)  for a tooltip to appear is no big deal compared to opening and closing a pane everytime I need/don't need it. (Not saying that the notifications pane is bad or anything -- seems to be a blessing for some).

I'll fix this in 0.9.25pre-rel28 (I had to get pre-rel27 out ASAP because of the file link display bug)
 
BTW, the notifications pane is not the new display device for tooltips. I don't use the notifications pane myself. It was a response to a demand. Tooltips are here to stay. In pre-rel27, grid cell values "tooltips" are shown on the status bar, to be non-intrusive

I like it, thanks
but 2 things :
 
1- As soon as I move the mouse I risk loosing the hierarchical info (hyperlinks) there, which I often use.
 
suggestions  : Maybe revert to hierarchical representation when mouse is over status bar, OR show the grid cell values only when pressing ctrl.
 
2- The HTML tags are visible and a- they take a lot of space, b- they make the info hard to read. This is the same for the hierarchical display actually.
