Hi,

tooltips for EditParts are not closed, when a native DnD is initiated.

Think of somewhat more complex and bigger tooltips. In the case of native
DnD they might obstruct the view on the drag target, which might be another Eclipse view or editor.

There should be an API to hide tooltips manually at runtime, or tooltips should generally get closed when DnD starts.

Kind regards

Sven

Editparts don't support tooltips.  Are you talking about an IFigure's tooltip?

Exactly! I am talking of IFigure Tooltips!

dispatchNativeDragStarted is defined in GEF's DomainEventDispatcher. We could move this up to Draw2d's EventDispatcher, and hide the tooltip in SWTEventDispatcher.
