How to get Help text displaying in 'Marker Icon Properties' modal #391

These Question Marks look useful in the settings:

And indeed there does seem to be placeholder text in the source code:

<div class="rule-input">
{@render fieldName(
'Marker Color',
"A hex color or one of the following: 'red', 'darkred', 'orange', 'green', 'darkgreen', 'blue', 'purple', 'darkpurple', 'cadetblue'",
)}

But no amount of clicking or hovering over the ? icons is showing up the help text for me.

Is there a trick?

(I tried downgrading to 5.5.0 to see if they used to display, but the design was very different and there were no ? icons in that version)
