The tools on the left side of the screen do not work with mouse over function. In the past version I used this to see direct what the function of the tool is. Is there a sollution to solve this, I have already reinstalled PS!

Correct answer Marinier

Try on other computer.


This is a brilliant suggestion for a PC sales person, unfortunately not very helpful for an adobe photoshop user.

For your information the problem is solved with the 23.1 version!

As I mentioned earlier, i have problems with the display mouseover with the tools. It was in earlier versions possible to scroll over the tool and the information of the tool was directly displayed. This futute does not work in the higer versions!

The 22 version supports this option well.

 

It is the third time that I uninstalled the 23 version. Also the 23.1 is not an improvement.

Please notice this bug! This has nothing to do with the windows10!

Thank you!

I have selected these setting.

As i have mentioned earlier. With the latest version the tools do not function correct. I have deinstalled the latest version. The tools do work well. How is this possible?

With kind regards

For the tool tips to be visible, make sure at least one of the options shown below is selected.

 

 

Reinstalling might not change this if the preferences were not also reset.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have found a tempory sollution by deleting version 23 and installing version 22.5.3 This version works with the tools with mouse over function. I hope the following version 23.01 takes over the preferences of 22.5.3 version.

Thanks again! with kind regards
