No Help Text on cursor hover.

Help text is missing from preferences at:

GNUCash Preferences:Register:Actions:Tab order includes Transfer on Memorised Transaction

Expected: When hovering the cursor over the selection, a transient pop-up with help text appears.

Actual: No help text provided.

Solution: Add the following help text from the documentation:

"When the transaction is auto-filled, pressing the Tab key in the register the cursor’s jump will include the Transfer field."

I can confirm, there is no tooltip.

It is a good idea to add the the from Help.

But I am not really happy with the text there. What happens, if unselected? What is the reason or benefit of the option?

Hm, in gnucash/gtkbuilder/dialog-preferences.glade is
                    <property name="has_tooltip">True</property>
                    <property name="tooltip_markup">Move to Transfer field when memorised transaction auto filled.</property>
                    <property name="tooltip_text" translatable="yes">Move to Transfer field when memorised transaction auto filled.</property>

Bob, some idea, why it is not displayed?

Will have a look

FYI, The text I provided is from the manual and is consistent with information provided by other tips.  That text can be found here:

I could not find the actual problem but it affected what ever was in the third position on that page, swapping 'Auto raise' with the 'Tab...' entry would stop the 'Auto raise' tooltip from working so in the end I just recreated the 'Register' notebook page and also the 'Business' page as that also had a missing tooltip.

Pushed to maint so will be in the next release.
