I have a crowded view stack that truncates parts of the view names in the tabs. In that view stack I have multiple instance of the Problems view.

They are quite hard to keep apart, because they have the same icons, their names have the same initial letters and their tooltips don't show the view name (as tool tips for other views do).

Either the workbench has to add the view name to the tooltip (at least when the view name is truncated in the tab), or the Problems view has to include the view name in the tooltip.

This applies to all view that set a custom tool tip (e.g. Package Explorer). Same in 3.x.
