    Hi, @sns ,

    According to your description, I assume the tooltip displaying name of the attachment will not work only when the link having _layouts/15/start.aspx# part. If this is your issue. It could be an issue of the Minimal Download Strategy feature. When we enable the MDS, we will have this part in the URL.

    First, in a default SharePoint custom list, we will not have a tooltip when hover on the paperclip icon. I assume you are using some JavaScript to get this functionality. And there used to be discussions about the MDS Minimal Download Strategy feature. This feature will block or interrupt jQuery or Java script from running properly.

    Reference:
    make-javascript-code-work-with-minimal-download-strategy-part-1
    sharepoint-custom-javascript-and-jquery-blocked-by-mds-minimal-download-strategy

    So for now, first we can test with disabling this feature to check if it will work fine. If the tooltip comes back without this feature activated, disabling the feature could be the most straightforward solution. And if that is not acceptable, you may need to update the script you are currently using. Just like the link I provide, there are some ways to make it work with MDS.
