When I hover over buttons in apps and leave the mouse there, I do not get any hint about what the button does. This is true for every app on my machine. I have not found any way to fix this on the internet.
Here’s what I found:
System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom > turn on hover text. Click the show detail “i” next to hover text, then click to switch on the “triple press modifier to set activation lock” (which was command for me) and it came on. I did decreased the size of the font to 12 so that it wouldn’t be as large.
I have a similar problem, in most apps tooltip are not showing. For example, in Logic, if I wanted to check the shortcut for set locator I would hover the mouse on the icon and see the shortcut in a tooltip, since I upgraded to Sonoma this tooltip is not visible. Other applications that shows similar problems is Affinity (any of the Affinity applications), I have the version from the AppStore, and they also don't show tooltips. Interestingly, Safari does show tooltips, for example if I over the + icon, it correctly tells me that it would open a new tab.
