OK, it is no real tooltip, it is displayed in the status bar.

Statusbar
Gives a description of the active menu item and shows a progress bar

For now I have changed the description to:
Show a second line with "Action", "Notes", and "File Association" for
each transaction.
I think ’Show Notes’ does not cover the other fields.
