Can you provide more information, please.
- Windows, Mac or Linux? Which version?
- Which version of Archi?
- What do you have selected?
- Any other information to help.
- What do you see in the Hints Window? Any message, or just blank?

Windows
- Which version of Archi?
Archi 4.3 32bit portable
- What do you have selected?
If I select an object in the main window, the hints pane is empty
If I select an new object from the palette, the hints window become populated
- Any other information to help.
Windows 10
Java 8 u191 installed locally

Just blank...until I try to drop a new object from the palette
> If I select an object in the main window, the hints pane is empty
Which object?

Any, maybe screenshots will help
The same if you select an object in the tree?
Can you try on another setup? This is a strange one. I can't reproduce.

Ill try a different build when i get home.
I'm assuming "the Tree" is the Models Pane ?
Doesn't work there either.
Can you test these objects and answer yes or no if you see a hint when selected:
- Palette objects (yes/no)
- A folder in the tree (yes/no)
- An element in the tree (yes/no)
- A relationship in the tree (yes/no)
- An ArchiMate View in the Tree (yes/no)
- A Canvas View in the Tree (yes/no)
This should work on all platforms so we need to narrow down what the cause is. It might be 32-bit or something.
We know that the Hints window works for the palette but it is not getting updated for some objects. These are determined by the Java class of the object.
Another place that the Hints window is used is from the Validator. If there are issues in the Validator, selecting an issue should update the Hints window.
LOL, omg I had no idea the hints were available everywhere :)
Also I just upgraded from archi 4.3.1 portable 32 bit and it dint work in the old version either

- A Canvas View in the Tree (yes/no)
no
Are you sure about that one?
Not sure why you're getting those error messages.

I uninstalled the org.archicontribs.database_v2.1.2 archi database plugin and it looks like the hints window is working now
