Is there a way to de-activate these Menu- description pop-ups which come up when hovering about a bar or button?

You might be able to accomplish that by creating your own custom theme with the Tool Tips replaced with null strings.

The Timeline tool-tips can be disabled from “Preferences > Interface” (though I’ve just noticed that it doesn’t work in the version of Audacity that I currently have installed).

The other tooltips are always on (but only appear when you hover over something that has a tool-tip).

If custom themes don’t allow you to modify tool tips, you could modify the source code and compile it yourself. The method to search for is SetToolTip. For instance…

toolTip0.SetToolTip(this.button0, "The button ToolTip")

Where you would replace the “The button ToolTip” text string with “”.
