long-press help for new multi-action button doesn't work, plus design quibbles
Issue
There's a new button with a Fediverse icon in place of the old translate button. Contrary to the post announcing this, long-press for tooltip doesn't work.
I also think it might be a good idea to rethink the design of this a bit... either to use words, or possibly icons that are more obvious, or some kind of cue to long-press for tooltip once that's working? To me, long-press in Fedilab signifies an action, i.e. "long-press to do something, typically with a multi-account chooser interposed" and thus I wouldn't think to long-press for information as was explained in https://framapiaf.org/@fedilab/102242763158114725
I really like the compactness of the design, but I think it might be difficult for new users to understand, and thus might not be used as much as it otherwise would be... after all, I'm confused as to what some of the icons do and I've been using Fedilab for a long time now. Maybe your UI guy has some thoughts?
Steps for reproducing the issue
