Description: When you hover over a data point in the chart it is supposed to display the value of the data point in a "hover tip". This feature appears to be broken in the gtk3 VCL UI, as no "hover tip" is displayed. It appears that people have been experiencing this issue for a while, but nobody has reported a bug: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/graph-point-value-when-mouse-hover/53155/12 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch libreoffice with the GTK3 backend (SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 libreoffice) 2. Create a chart with data points 3. Double click to edit the chart (or choose Edit -> Object -> Edit from the menu) 4. Hover your mouse over a data point Actual Results: No "hover tip" is displayed. Expected Results: A "hover tip" giving the values of the data points should appear Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Please note that the gtk3 VCL UI is the default for many Linux systems (such as Debain/Ubuntu). If you launch with the generic VCL UI (SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen libreoffice) on such a system then you can see the expected behavior.

what is sometimes the case for tooltips is that there is no "area" given for the tooltip, only a point, and gtk won't show a tooltip for an empty area
