Description Allan Day 2011-04-13 13:39:42 UTC 
These are the buttons that are in the Layouts tab.

I don't think we have *any* tooltips anywhere in the control-center. Jon?
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2011-04-28 20:07:33 UTC 
I'm sorta thinking that symbolic icon based toolbars shouldn't have tooltips.  Symbolic icons here are acting like text.  I think it is a little strange for text based actions to have tooltips.  They should just be obvious.

I think the real problem Allan is encountering is that the layouts toolbar has a totally non-obvious tool item in it.  The preview button should probably look like a keyboard.

I thought the UI was unfinished. If the function of these buttons is always completely obvious, then I agree that tooltips probably aren't necessary.

The preview button icon has been fixed (see bug 647656).

Closing as a dupe of bug 647656.

If you find other non-obvious toolbar buttons, let us know.
