Description Tobias Widmer CLA 2004-08-24 09:31:32 EDT
Build I200408120010: The descriptions of the extension element details are not 
accessible other than by mouse

- Open extensions page in the plugin manifest editor
- Navigate to an extension element of an extension
- Hover over the labels in the form editor of the particular element

Before 3.0 setting the focus on a property in the properties view displayed 
this information in the status bar of the workbench. This could be 
reintroduced for consistency

An alternative could be to support "Edit > Show Tooltip Description (F2)" as in Java editors.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
