Disabling Tool Tips / Balloon Tips

#1

Is there any way to disable Tool Tips / Balloon Tips in LibreOffice? When I am working with an .odt document containing hyperlinks I don't need a balloon telling me "Click to follow link: ..." every time the pointer passes over a hyperlink, and the balloon often obscures something that I need to see.

Remove the tick from Tools | Options... | LibreOffice | General | Help | Tips.

I trust this helps.

hi.
go to tools menu and then options.
in the option menu uncheck tips and extended tips in libreoffice, general.

In 5.1.0.1 there is no check box for tips, just for extended tips, and it is already unchecked.

I can disable tips by going in Tools -> LibreOffice -> Options ->
Advanced Options -> Advanced configuration. Seach for the keyword "Tip"
(not case sensitive), then searching for org.openoffice.Office.Common,
Help -> Tip and setting it to False.
I have LO 5.1.1.3 on Linux/Fedora.

Who decides on all the unnecessary idiotic changes for no apparent good reason?

Adding new options can be put into any menu / sub-menu that the development team thinks is appropriate, but moving existing options from one place to another is VERY counter productive. Not to say annoying.
