Hi Adam,
I should have said to activate it from the "View" menu, by clicking on "Show Map \
Tips" there, I did find that the first time I tried with the icon it did not seem to \
work, but when I clicked on it in the "View" menu it did start working, and after \
that I was able to toggle it on and off with the icon.
Sounds like you are doing what is necessary, and Andrea's suggestions will hopefully \
get you there, especially the last one try it with a new user profile with no plugins \
(Settings/User Profiles/New Profile...).
In my trouble shooting I was able to reproduce your problem on an older install of \
nightly/DEV (3.29.0, f23bdbdad1 , Qt 5.15.2, Python 3.9.5, GDAL 3.3.2) with a fresh \
user. Unfortunately the build for nightly for MacOS is failing right now, but I can \
confirm that map tips work in the latest LTR and PR (3.30.0). So it may have been \
fixed already? but the fix doesn't work on your build for some reason. You may want \
to report this as a bug, just be prepared for the response "it works on my machine", \
it may be specific to your Linux, or to the QGIS build that you are using.
By the way, please forgive my use of ESRI terminology when I called the "Layers" \
panel the "table of contents". Old habits are hard to break.

Hi Thayer,
Many thanks for your reply!
> Make sure you have the layer selected in the table of contents
I can't find anything called "table of contents" but there is a panel
called "Layers" where I can tick/untick them to show/hide layers, and
if I click on a layer to select it (a layer with HTML in the Display
properties) then the layer name is drawn in the layer list with a blue
background to indicate it is selected, however I still don't see any
popups when hovering over that layer's markers on the map.

I have hovered for 10 seconds with my hand off the mouse to be extra
sure and still nothing appears. In the options, the popup time is the
default of 850 milliseconds. If I hover over the buttons on the
toolbar then tooltips appear successfully, as they do throughout the
various dialog boxes, so it doesn't appear to be a problem with my
technique.
I am not sure how exact you have to be when hovering over the symbol on
the map, but I have tried hovering over a bunch of symbols that were
clustered together, a few pixels above/below/beside the marker,
enlarging the marker, etc. but nothing is popping up.

There is no check mark but the icon is drawn "pressed" (like the
toolbar button) when it is activated. I can select it multiple times
to alternate between "normal" and "pressed", just like the toolbar
button. Regardless of whether the menu item is drawn in the pressed
state or not, there are no popups.

I tried changing to the zoom tool and clicking a few times, then
hovering - no popup. I changed back to the pan tool - no popup. I
tried panning around a bit and hovering again - no popup.

I have restarted QGIS and added new HTML to a different feature, but
there is still no popup.

I tried changing the colour like this but still no popup. I have tried
it with a dark satellite map background and the default grey background
and can't see any hint of a popup. I have also tried setting the popup
to just plain text without using any fields (so it should always
display even if the fields are all blank) but still no popup.
Any other ideas what could be happening?
Many thanks,
Adam.
