User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

Tooltip missing on icons for column header options.
This applies to the 'Folder Pane Columns' and the 'Thread Pane' column headers.
It also applies to the 'Address Book' column headers.
In each case, there is a small icon located immediately to the right of the column headers sited above the vertical scrollbar, if it is shown.
Hover over these icons.

Actual results:

Hovering over these icons does not offer a tooltip.

When people have an issue with a column header, there is no tooltip saying what it is. So you cannot offer instructions like when you hover over it, the tooltip will say etc... People do struggle to locate it, especially if unfamiliar with email client or eyesight is poor.
As the icon is small and difficult to put in words, whilst assisting in the Support forum, I have discovered people struggle to locate it without a fully diagramatic image.

Expected results:

All the actual column headers do have tooltips.
There should be a relevant tooltip over the icon(s) which facilitates selection or restoring column order etc.

Apologies for dupe...whilst saving it got stuck and seemed frozen in the process. I had to kill it and resend, unaware that it had already created a bug report.
