Tool tips on label widgets are not working anymore

Question

Hello David,

I'm using tool tips on label widgets in order to display credits for example.
It does not seem to work anymore in the latest version of Decent Sampler (V1.12.11)
I did not install every single release and skipped a few, but I can confirm this is working with version V1.12.8 but not in version V1.12.10
Is it a now desired feature or an oversight? I really think tooltips should still work if present.

Can this be related with this change in V1.12.9 ? (I could not test this version) :
- Images and labels no longer respond to mouse clicks. This means they can be put in front of other controls and those controls will still work. (0000183)

By the way, is there an archive where we can find older versions? I could not find it.

Thanks in advance

Answering to myself.
As a workaround, I used a "blank button" - a button with a transparent image and I set a tool tip to that, it works just fine for what I want.
In a more general way, I am in the process of removing text labels and text from all my knobs because they exhibit weird scaling (often cut with ...)
Sometimes the font weight is slightly off, I have to reload some presets a few times before it gets back in order so I think I will stick to write text, glyphs and symbols on the background image from now on.
