Expected

Hello,

I'm using v2025.05.28, when I add description on elements (software systems, containers, ...) and show the tooltip, the description is visible.

When I start Structurizr Lite with the workspace in "Steps to reproduce" and press t to show the tooltips, I see :

Without changing anything on the workspace but upgrading Structurizr Lite to the latest current version (v2025.11.08), I get the following rendering :

Only the tags are visible, other elements are absent.

Steps to reproduce

Render the workspace with structurizr lite.

For example, I created a workspace :

workspace "Name" "Description" {

    !identifiers hierarchical

    model {
        u = person "User"
        ss = softwareSystem "Software System" {
            wa = container "Web Application"
            db = container "Database Schema" {
                tags "Database"
                description "blablabla"
            }
        }

        u -> ss.wa "Uses"
        ss.wa -> ss.db "Reads from and writes to"
    }

    views {
        container ss "Diagram2" {
            include *
            autolayout lr
        }
    }

    configuration {
        scope softwaresystem
    }

}

Version

v2025.11.08

Severity

Minor

More information

It might be intented but I'm not sure.

The tooltip is a good way to see informations on an element in diagrams without the need to zoom on each component.

I use structurizr to create documentation for the teams I work with. The tool you're creating is amazing. This issue comes with great appreciation ❤️
