Description Jeff Brown CLA 2002-01-23 15:25:29 EST 
Start up Eclipse with some existing Java Projects in the workspace.
Select a package in one of these projects.
Right-click and select Go Into.
Hover over the Back arrow.
Notice that a very tall tool-tip (full screen height) text appears,
the first line being "Back to Java Model" and the remaining lines
being package names (?).  Immediately after being displayed, the
tool-tip text disappears.  The text will flash into and out of
existance consitently until the pointer leaves the button's frame.

The same behaviour can occur when hovering over the Up arrow or
the Forward arrow when these lead to the workspace root.

This must have released as part of the fix build for 20020122.
Dani did you change something there?

No I did not contribute to the fix build. Martin changed and released label
provider related changes including changes on the PackageExplorerLabelProvider.

I'm investigating the problem now.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2002-01-24 03:03:21 EST 
Martin changed the PackageExplorerLabelProvider to return the workbench's label
if the label from the Java element label provider is empty. As a result
toString() is called on such elements. This seems wrong to me but have to ask
Martin why he made such a change.

!!!Other label providers that Martin changed in same manner:
  org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaElementLabelProvider
  org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.viewsupport.JavaUILabelProvider

Comment 6 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2002-02-13 07:51:49 EST 
Now when hovering the label 'Back' appears for ~5 seconds then disapears and 
stays gone. Good. Verified. ->20020205. JRT.
