In the resource perspective with the task list in the right bottom corner. Create a new task with a long description (the compiler error are like that). Stop the mouse over the task descriptor. The tooltip will open showing the description because it does not fit in the table column but the tooltip will be show the whole description because it does not fit in the screen. It should either use more then one line, open more to the left so the description would not be cut by de screen size. The same problem happens with the editor title if the file name is too big. NOTES:
I second this. Same thing about CVS history. If you have a long description, you will never be able to see it. Tooltip does not seems to support EOL as well since the dreaded black square is displayed. I'm not sure about the strategy to use here. We cannot rely on the data to have a reasonable line length so there might be a need to justify the text to a max- tooltip width and have a max tooltip height as well and being able to scroll the tooltip. That might be needed for Javadoc as well, right now long javadoc is purely and simply cut.
Support for F1 on task list items is being added. The line limit is a widget limitation. There are no plans to change the widget that the task list uses in the upcoming release.
