Object description?

[Emicurious Kleinfeld]

I am using Firestorm and something like  object descriptions show up over everything. Is there a way to get rid of them?  My friend says he used to have them but not any longer. Thank you for your help in advance.

They are referred to as "hover tips". In addition to the shortcut you were given, settings for those can be found in Preferences - User Interface - 3D World.

Willow,

Thank you so much!  I will look into it, too.

I find hover tips both very useful and extremely annoying at the same time!

The compromise I have settled for is to set a delay of around 4 or 5 seconds on "objects", which stops most tips displaying with casual cursor movements, without totally removing the facility.
