Subject: bug#52994: 29.0.50; Help descriptions from menu bar items don't appear in the echo area
Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2022 01:10:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m18rvwwebj.fsf@yahoo.es> (raw)
In-Reply-To: m18rvwwebj.fsf.ref@yahoo.es


Severity: minor

Steps to reproduce the problem:

emacs -Q
Click on File, place the mouse over "Visit New File", but don't click it.

Expected results:

"Specify a new file's name, to edit the file", which is the value for
the :help keyword of that menu item, appears in the echo area, or
perhaps in a tooltip.

Actual results:

Nothing appears in the echo area.

If you run Emacs in a console, it works correctly (press F10 to open the
menu bar).
