Description Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2002-08-20 03:18:42 EDT
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
Comment 1 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2002-08-20 03:19:29 EDT
maybe it's a generic SWT failure?
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2002-08-20 06:56:26 EDT
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 ?
Comment 3 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2002-08-20 07:42:16 EDT
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.

Comment 4 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2002-08-20 07:48:58 EDT
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.

Comment 5 Steve Northover CLA 2002-08-20 11:03:26 EDT
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?
Comment 6 Kai-Uwe Maetzel CLA 2002-08-20 11:27:37 EDT
None that I know of. It's just a Shell with a StyledText as content.
Comment 7 Steve Northover CLA 2002-08-20 16:40:24 EDT
Doesn't happen using the SWT from HEAD.  I ma investigating the changes.
Comment 8 Steve Northover CLA 2002-08-20 16:57:22 EDT
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.
Comment 9 Kai-Uwe Maetzel CLA 2002-08-21 08:20:56 EDT
Adding Tod to cc list. Tod, please have look at Steve's question.
Comment 10 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-21 08:42:46 EDT
Steve I am not sure what the changes you refer to are. Please let me know and I 
can check for you.
Comment 11 Steve Northover CLA 2002-08-21 09:35:11 EDT
Thanks Kai, I thought I added Tod ... I'm losing it.
Comment 12 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-08-21 09:43:15 EDT
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.
