Missing pop-ups on mouseover?

Ah hah.. that tiny little button that expanded that bar was extremely easy to miss. I had just taken it for artistic flair like a rivet... yea for some reason the item notes have been being enabled/disabled at random for me... but now that I know where to look... no problemo!

Edit:
As far as specs and language go... I've got a mid-high end machine running the US English version.

you should be experiencing very little, if any, problems then.
You say the item notes have been enabled/disabled at random for you....is the togglable icon for item notes mimicking this behavior?

Can't comment about the previous times this has happened.. but in this case I know they were functioning last night when I saved, and just today when I reloaded that save they were not functioning and the icon showed them as being disabled.

Edit:

Could there perhaps be an undocumented hotkey or something that might enable/disable this feature? I know I have a tendency to fat finger keys and hit some strange combinations by mistake.

that would be a correct statement. In order for them to 'persist' across game end/game load you have to edit the options file

Well the odd thing is that, I was unaware of the existance of the toggle icons bar/button until now, so I know I've never pressed any of those six icons. Yet at the same time, the item notes have persisted in their on-again off-again behavior.

I'm unaware of what line in the options file is being changed, or even how (as I've not made any conscious changes to even your UIs config files)

if you can note which items are exhibiting this on-again/off-again behavior it will help me determine if I have a bug in my code or there is something that I have overlooked

The options file can be found here:
\Silent Hunter 5\MODS\NewUIs_TDC_3_9_3_ByTheDarkWraith\data\Scrip ts\Menu\TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py.

It can be opened and edited using Notepad.

Well the depth/map tools certainly don't have a problem.

I'm unsure what the show lock/break lock button does, I'll fiddle with it and see if I notice anything. (It was disabled when I expanded the menu)

We've determined that at least in my situation the item notes are attributing a cruel intelligence.

Hide XO TDC I'm also unfamiliar with at this moment, however it was enabled. I'm assuming this is enabled by default because your TDC work (or perhaps one of the other mods I'm running) replace the default TDC.

Show player guidance and objectives both were disabled as well, and I haven't seen them pop back up since installing one of the previous versions of your UI I believe, so those seem to be working as intended.
