Moving Mouse over icons in Taskbar/Notification Bar

[Jami]

When I move my mouse pointer over the icons in the Taskbar/Notification Bar,
I have previously been able to see the status and/or names of these icons.
Now when I move the mouse pointer over them, nothing shows at all. Has a
setting changed?
