Why for html like <a href="url"><img src="image_url"></a> tooltip with url in bottom left corner of the window that appears on mouse hover over image is displayed only if "Windows Settings"->"Ease of Access"->"Simplify and Personalize Windows"->"Show Animations in Windows" is enabled? No way to have this url hint and disabled in-out fading of windows at once.

@fewlittlequestions Because browsers use that Windows resource to display the tooltip?

It seems like a specific configuration issue with Windows Settings affecting tooltip display for HTML elements. Unfortunately, enabling "Show Animations in Windows" appears to be necessary to show the URL hint. It's frustrating that both features can't be enabled simultaneously. Have you tried reaching out to Windows support for assistance with this?

Guys, Chrome and Edge have the same functionality, but don't exhibit the same behavior as Opera. Every little tooltip in Windows is a window. If application can't display the window when fx is off, it means coders utilised it in wrong way.

Tested with:

<a href="https://example.com/"><img src="https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png"></a>

in Opera 109.0.5097.68 64-bit on Windows 11 23H2 with Windows key + u -> visual effects -> animation effects disabled. Hovering over the image shows https://example.com in a link tooltip at the bottom left no problem.

Oh, for some reason it needs to be relaunched to make this tooltip working again. Disabling animation while Opera is running kills it. Even in the latest build .68. Doesn't happen in Chrome and Edge based on Chromium. Windows 10 LTSC 21H2.

Could just be a side effect of the way Opera renders its new component-based UI.
