Build: 3.1 final. 1) Start with a simple class: Class Info { /** * Simple name. */ public String getName() {return null;} /** * Attributes. */ public boolean getAttribute(int i) {return false;} } 2) Create another code snippet in a java class with a reference to class Info: Info info = new Info(); info.get 3) Invoke code assist at the end of this snippet. 4) Shrink the code assist box so that the "getAttributes()" completion doesn't fit in the window. 5) However the mouse over the getAttribute() completion, so that the yellow popup shows the entire completion 6) Type "Name" -> There is now only one possible completion: getName(). However, the yellow popup hover still says getAttribute(). The javadoc popup correctly shows the javadoc for getName(). See the attached screenshot to see what I mean.

The yellow tooltip (not the javadoc in the additional info popup) is provided by the OS/WS. I believe that this might be a SWT.VIRTUAL side-effect, since it appears our model is correct (since the javadoc popup is correct).
Tom, please investigate
Linux/GTK does not show such tooltips for partially clipped items. However, since the popup, displayed item (when no tooltip shown) and the insertion are correct, I assume that this is a problem with the table. Moving to SWT for comments.
I had a quick go at fixing this one. There doesn't seem to be a way to get Windows to ask for the text again. I tried reaching in and getting the tooltip handle from the Table and talking to it directly. Happens in the Tree as well. See bug 105393.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
