You are right.
This is an error message, probably by your question validation.
I can only reproduce your screenshot by
If you set "Hide tip" to "ON" and setting the question "mandatory" you get
But in this case you do not need your question validation, because you have to select at least one answer (mandatory).
You did not say, what exactly you want to achieve.
At least one answer? This you get by setting "mandatory"
Exactly ONE answer? This you get by setting "Max. answers" to "1" and hiding the tip.
You see you only get the error message.
If I misunderstood your problem, please explain.

Hi,
Many thanks for your reply. I have made some progress but it is not perfect.
What I want is a multiple choice question, only 1 answer permitted, no tip showing - just as you have in your final screenshot.
This is what I have now, the tip is hidden as required:
The error message is ok, but I can't sem to hide the tip:
The settings I have played with are now as follows:
Mandatory: off
Hide tip: on
Maximum answers: 1

Hi,
this seems to be strange.
I do not see any issue neither in version 3.22.28
nor in version 4.3.18.
As tpartner: Which version do you use?
By the way: What is the reason to use a multiple question and limit it to one answer?
Why don't you use a list(radio)?

Hi. We are not using radio button list, because in some questions you have to choose 3 from 5 etc.

Hi,
now, what to say?
Your version is 2 years old. I showed that the issue doesn't exist in an actual version.
Did you check the release logs?
community.limesurvey.org/releases/
I saw something in the 3.14.9. log, but I don't know if it is related to your issue.
-Fixed issue #13994: Question validation equation along with "Hide tip" (Dominik Vitt)
Anyway: You should consider an update. See, if your problem still exists.

Try this in the question source:
Code:
<style type="text/css"> #question{QID} .ls-em-tip.em_default { display:none !important; } </style>

But even if Tpartners solution will work: You should still consider an update to the latest version of the LS 3.x LTS branch (DO NOT go to LS 4.x yet - it is not ready for production yet).
