[Lazarus] Hints not working - what is wrong?

[Bo Berglund]

32 bit Lazarus 2.0.0, Fpc 3.0.4 on Windows 7 x64

I have tried in vain to make hints show up in the GUI of my
application.
I have set the hint strings for TButton, TBitBtn and TSpeedButton
items via Object Inspector in the Lazarus IDE but nothing displays
when I hover the mouse ove these items when running the program.

What am I missing?

Do I need to set some project property to make them appear?
In Delphi simply entering the strings used to cause them to appear in
runtime when the mouse hovers over the controls....
