QTextCharFormat tooltip

[Fuchsiaff]

I don't really understand how it should work
Here's my code:

for name, values in self.regex.items():
            self.formats[name] = QTextCharFormat()

            if name == "class":
                self.formats[name].setFontWeight(QFont.Bold)

            elif name == "function":
                self.formats[name].setFontItalic(True)

            elif name == "magic":
                self.formats[name].setFontItalic(True)
            elif name == "F_bool":
                self.formats[name].setToolTip("Hello world!"

F_bool is a QTextCharFormat which matches the word "False" in my editor.
When hovering over the word in the editor, is it supposed to show a tooltip?
Because it isn't showing anything right now.

Hi,

What version of PyQt are you using ?
On what platform ?
Can you please provide a complete python example to test that ?

I'm using PyQt5 and I'm on Linux.

I have a QPlainTextEdit which has a syntax highlighter on it and after searching google I found this stackoverflow question which is pretty recent:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54046226/how-to-get-working-settooltip-from-qtextcharformat-inside-qsyntaxhighlighter

I will give a working example that you can test tomorrow!

What is the exact version of PyQt 5 that you are using ?
Also, how did you installed it ?
