Mouse over hints / tooltips show no text

[Kevin Fleischer]

Inkscape works well but there is a very annoying bug regarding the hints (tooltips) that pop up when moving the mouse over the icons.

EXPECTED: A tooltip pops up and displays are human readable text that describes the functionality.

CURRENT STATUS: An empty gray tooltip box appears. No text is visible.
IF text is in the box it is the same color like the background - but this is just a guess.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT: Without this feature it is harder to find/identify functions. Because of the empty tooltip overlays it is further an obvious bug - and not a missing feature.

OS: Kubuntu 16.10, (The KDE color settings seem to have no effect on inkscape).
Inkscape: 0.91

Reinstalling of the Software did not change the problem for me.

Does this occur with the latest version of Inkscape?

Also, please check if your issue is the same as bug 1677433.

Bug seems to be fixed with current version.
I startet Inkscape and tested some mouse overs on the right button bar. I could read all "hints".

I consider this fixed.
