Inline labels not showing tooltips

I am not seeing any tool tips when I use inline labels.

I took the example from the instructions: 

/roll 2d10+5[Fire Damage] + 3d6[Ice Damage]

...and I get the same results as if I just do:

/roll 2d10+5 + 3d6

In other words, I never get hover-over tooltips showing the text "Fire Damage" or "Ice Damage". The labels just seem to be ignored. Am I missing something or misunderstanding how they are supposed to work?

I see the wiki example here: https://wiki.roll20.net/Inline_Rolls#Inline_Labels

but...

I think they only work with inline rolls. ie [[ 2d10+5[Fire Damage] + 3d6[Ice Damage] ]]

maybe this is something that has recently changed with the latest parsing updates?  Not sure.

That documentation does say "Inline labels works both with "normal" rolls and inline rolls". So I think its either a bug or the docs are wrong.

I see the labels listed with the roll (chrome)  There's nothing to hover for tooltips.  That would only work with an inline roll.

The documentation was partially copypasted from elsewhere, but looking at vince's example, I guess it would be more accurate to say that using inline labels in "normal" rolls "doesn't break the roll", rather than "it works". Don't know if they ever given "normal" rolls a hover, just displayed like in Vince's example.

Ought to change the wording on the wiki, but inline labels are still useful in normal rolls, as the image shows, just not as big as with inline rolls.

Thanks for clarifying!

Looking at the wiki page(didn't at first), I see there is a screenshot example of how labels works out in normal rolls, so don't even know how it should be rephrased, it seems pretty clear to me.

But guess it could have more examples and to clarify how the results are displayed on normal vs. inline
