Description Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2011-04-27 14:58:10 EDT 
Node tooltips use plain rectangle with sharp corners and yellow background from Windows XP era. I expect the diagram to use native tooltip API from SWT so that the look can match the platform and tooltips on toolbar buttons, etc.

Bulk deferral of diagram-related items to the 0.5 release.

first attempt at showing native tooltip

first attempt at showing native tooltip- but an extra mouse exit event at certain nodes causes the tooltip to be dismissed immediately.
Comment 3 Konstantin Komissarchik CLA 2014-07-08 19:22:43 EDT 
Rather than "native", the diagram tooltips should re-use the form tooltip presentation. The two should match in appearance.
