Description Andreas Sewe CLA 2016-11-18 04:34:06 EST 
Noticed something odd about the Coverage view's triangle menu: The Counters and Complexity menu items show an empty pair of parentheses: "Select Counters ()" 

This looks like a bug, i.e., some variable that does not get interpolated correctly. (I assume it should be something like "Select Counters (Method)", right?

Odd tooltips in Coverage view's triangle menu

*sigh*

OS X apparently doesn't include tooltips in its screenshots (and I didn't check before uploading). But I hope my description in comment 0 was clear enough.

Odd tooltips in Coverage view (Linux)

The same behavior on Linux - attached screenshot including tooltip.

The strange thing here is that we show tooltips on menu items at all. This happens only for EclEmma menues. Other views don't have that problem. It might be because we consequently use Elicpse commands for our menus.

If I add tooltip="" to our command contributions the tooltip goes away. I wonder whether this is the proper way to fix this.

Looks like this is a Eclipse 4.6 "feature" described in Bug 491990.
