Just another possible diagnostic, the tool-tip doesn't appear when I
hover the mouse over the "(genmon)" label (if I have Label ticked).
However if I right click on the "(genmon)" label and open the genmon
Properties when I close the pop-up everything is (as I said above)
working OK, including the tool-tip.
