Mouseover Doesn't Popup VOR or Airport Name If In Airspace

I have Plan G3 ver 3.1.2.101. Haven't used it for quite awhile.  I can't find a consistent way to get a popup identifying a VOR's freq when I mouseover or right-click it and if it's in an airport's airspace (class D, E, etc). And I can't get an airport's ICAO code to popup if I mouseover or right click the VOR symbol. Seems like this used to work for me a year ago but I haven't flown in a long time. Have I simply forgotten how to do it?

Thanks and Best Regards, A8

I am using version 3.2.0.144.

When I hover the mouse over airport, VOR or NDB a popup window shows with data.

Make sure that you have View -> ToolTips checked!!!

Sorry I'm slow to reply. I didn't get notification that you had posted.

Tooltips is ticked. The problem is most evident if the VOR is within an airport's airspace. In that case, even if I move the pointer around inside the compass rose/airspace there's never a popup with the VOR's freq. If I can stay outside the airspace but within the rose, the tip may pop up eventually, but it's not consistent.

If the VOR is far removed from airspace, the popup is consistent. Any other suggestions?

I checked for Plan-G updates and there is one available so I'll install it and see if anything changes.

I checked the pop-up of VOR/DVOR and with the rose and the actual airspace displayed these pop-ups still show as it should when I move the mouse over them.

It is time for Tim to have look at this.

Well, let's not bother Tim after all. And I've taken your time unnecessarily as well. I updated from ver 3.1.2.101 to 320144 and no longer have the issue. Furthermore, my map of the US had incorrect highway designations and now that's fine too. Life is good. I may have a beer.
Thanks very much for your willing spirit! -Gary
