It's impossible to use Hover Help in integration build 20020815 from 2.0.1 branch. As soon as the hover help should appear it only flashes and the mouse jumps some inches lower right. This happends to all elements (classes, methods, fields). Steps to repeat: - unzip the SDK to a directory (to have a fresh installation) - create a new java project - create a new class with some javadoc for the class - hover the class
maybe it's a generic SWT failure?
Can't reproduce using 2.0.1 build I20020815 on Windows 2000. Gunnar, do you have more detailed steps. Are you using a different OS than Windows 2000 ?
yes, I found som strange relationship to bug #20563. If you disable "Automatically moves the pointer to the default button in a dialog box" then Hover works fine.
I'm not sure if it realy depends on 20563 but someone must have changed some SWT code related to this and commited it to the 2.0.1 branche. Don't know if this was a good idea.
Sounds like hover help has a hidden default button and that the mouse is jumping to that button, causing hover help to fail. Is this the case?
None that I know of. It's just a Shell with a StyledText as content.
Doesn't happen using the SWT from HEAD. I ma investigating the changes.
Tod, did the changes to Eclipse necessary to make the "snap to default button" feature in Windows work make it into 2.0.1? This is an SWT problem. I have a fix but I need an answer from Tod before applying the fix. The problem was that code that was missing in 2.0.1.
Adding Tod to cc list. Tod, please have look at Steve's question.
Steve I am not sure what the changes you refer to are. Please let me know and I can check for you.
Thanks Kai, I thought I added Tod ... I'm losing it.
Talked to Steve and the changes he refers to are not in the current 2.1 stream. The buttons have not changed since 2.0.
