Question

Tool tips disappear if you switch windows

1. Lightroom 13.3.1.

2. Windows 11, 

3. Use any supported tool for the first time.  A tip for a tool that you haven't used before opens (yeah!).  Unfortunately if you switch to another window, for example your browser to pause video you are watching so you can read, the tip disappears.  This happens when Lightroom loses focus.

 

4. I would expect the popup to remain visible until I click the button to dismiss.

 

This is so annoying!  It would be really cool to have actually seen what the tip said.  As an asside from my complaining, is there a way to reset tooltips?

Hey, @masmanaami. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. Thanks for sharing the feedback.

 

When you click away from Lightroom Classic, the tips for Masking or the selected module move out of focus. The tips are not lost, per se, you can use the Help menu to access tips depending on the module you're at.

 

Develop Module tips & Masking Tips are in the Develop module under the Help menu.

 

Let me know if this helps. Thanks!
