O have had this problem before and it seems to correct itself somehow later on but will try here for a fix now. Maybe I'll learn what the heck I am doing so I dont do it again.
Played last night no problems, logged to trader, next day I start moving some stuff between alts and I notice that I do not see anything when I hover the mouse pointer over an object, nor do I see timers displayed when I hover mouse over buff icons. I used to get that small blue bar that displayed name of object or the time remaining on buffs by just holding cursor over what I wanted to look at.
I can still use the alt button to show that, but being a creature of habit, it's not what I am used to and it worked fine last night. I must have hit some key combo that turned it off somehow. I have messed with the context menus tab and looked thru the other options menu items but nothing except the context menu tab seems even close.
Anyone got any suggestions?
