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.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">By the way, please forgive my use of ESRI terminology when I called the "Layers" panel the "table of contents".
