Blank matlab code tooltips in Gnome 3, Debian Jessie

displaygnome

In the picture is shown what works and what doesn't work (also doesn't work for warning descriptions in the code).

Current version Gnome 3.14.1. I tried to change window style settings with gnome-tweak-tool, but it did not change the looks. What else could I try? It worked fine with Debian Wheezy, e.g. Gnome 3.4 (and probably some days ago, before installing the many every-day upgrades coming with Debian testing. -> I'm going to check the aptitude logs.)

3 different tooltip styles

It is a well-known issue with Gnome >=3.10. Unfortunately there is no fix or workaround for it yet.

The only solution suggested by the answers on the Mathworks forum is to switch off Gnome and turn on some other desktop environment (Xfce, for example.)
