Hints will not show on fixed cells in TAdvStringGrid

I'm using multiple TAdvStringGrids and TAdvColumnGrids. I've set them all up so if the text in a cell is too long for the cell, you can hover over the cell and see a hint popup with the full content of the cell. I did this by setting ShowHint and HintShowCells to true. I also set the hint text to the cell text in the OnGridHint event.

My issue is the hint does not seem to show if I hover over a cell in a fixed column or row. The OnGridHint function does trigger with the right cell coordinates, but the hint doesn't pop up.

ChatGPT humorously told me to set HintShowFixedCells to true, which would be a good way to handle this situation, but it doesn't seem that property currently exists. Is there a way to get hints to show on fixed cells on TAdvStringGrid and its derivatives? Or is there a better way to show the full content of a cell that has text too long for its boundaries?

Argh! Ignore this. The bug was on my end. I had some code to not return the hintstr if it was a header row that I forgot about. That code was also affecting the fixed columns.
