Bug Description

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.

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.
