Description Srimanth CLA 2004-01-02 12:14:56 EST 
The delete action in the toolbar doesnt have hover help on it. Other actions in
all languages should be checked also.

Randy, this is actually a GEF problem. I took a look and DeleteRetargetAction
inherits from RetargetAction while UndoRetargetAction inherits from
LabelRetargetAction. 

RetargetAction doesn't handle tooltip text, while LabelRetargetAction does.

Thanks,
Rich

Retarget actions in GEF for undo, redo, copy, paste, delete, etc. should probably be deprecated now, and ActionFactory should be used instead.  What do you think, Randy?

Anyway, DeleteRetargetAction is not the only one that extends a RetargetAction instead of a LabelRetargetAction.  Others include ZoomIn, ZoomOut and Copy.  They should all be fixed.

If an action has a name, and doesn't have a tooltip, then its name should be displayed in a toolitem as its tooltip. Platform enhancement.

GEF should just set the tooltip as a workaround.

The action can not be relabeled by design. It is to be consistent with ActionFactory, whose DELETE factory does not create a label retarget action.

Deprecation might make sense, but another bug should be opened for that.

Unset target milestone as the specified one is already passed.
