I have added the documented option "--tooltips=never" to my BBGENOPTS

the value of any DESCR tag on the host, which is not compatible
behavior, and is ugly (the DESCR value used to be only included on the
INFO page).

The man page for 4.3beta2 ( 4.2.3) states:
--tooltips=[always,never,main]
Determines which pages use tooltips to show the
description of the host (from the COMMENT entry in the
bb-hosts(5) file). If set to always, tooltips are used
on all pages. If set to never, tooltips are never used.
If set to main, tooltips are used on the main pages,
but not on the BB2 (all non-green) or NK (critical sys-
tems) pages.
Missing in this text is the default setting which corresponds to
--tooltips=main. This is the setting we use.
Ie tried --tooltips=never and now see the COMMENT value after the
hostname which is the correct behaviour (see bb-hosts(5)). The DESCR
values only show up in the info column.

Definitely does not work that way here. I have several host entries
that have tags like:
DESCR:vip:"Anycast DNS address"
With --tooltips=never in my BBGENOPTS, this is part of the info page.
But it is also rendered on the groups page:
dns-anycast (vip:Anycast DNS address) conn:green:6d04h08m
dns:green:6d04h45m info:green:10.254.254.1 trends:green:

This block of code t=from lib/htmllog.c is questionable to me. If does
not implement the documented behavior - if the comment is not there, it
uses the description. And if tooltips are disabled, the description is
rendered in parentheses. This is definitely different behavior from
4.2, and different from the documention.
cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_COMMENT); if (!cmt) cmt =
bbh_item(host, BBH_DESCRIPTION);
if (!cmt && usetooltip) cmt = bbh_item(host, BBH_IP);
if (disp == NULL) disp = hname;
if (cmt) {
if (usetooltip) {
/* Thanks to Marco Schoemaker for suggesting the
use of <span title...> */
result = (char *)malloc(strlen(disp) +
strlen(cmt) + 30);
sprintf(result, "<span title=\"%s\">%s</span>",
cmt, disp);
}
else {
result = (char *)malloc(strlen(disp) + strlen(cmt) + 4);
sprintf(result, "%s (%s)", disp, cmt);
}
