Start up Eclipse with some existing Java Projects in the workspace. Select a package in one of these projects. Right-click and select Go Into. Hover over the Back arrow. Notice that a very tall tool-tip (full screen height) text appears, the first line being "Back to Java Model" and the remaining lines being package names (?). Immediately after being displayed, the tool-tip text disappears. The text will flash into and out of existance consitently until the pointer leaves the button's frame. The same behaviour can occur when hovering over the Up arrow or the Forward arrow when these lead to the workspace root.
This must have released as part of the fix build for 20020122. Dani did you change something there?

No I did not contribute to the fix build. Martin changed and released label provider related changes including changes on the PackageExplorerLabelProvider. I'm investigating the problem now.
Martin changed the PackageExplorerLabelProvider to return the workbench's label if the label from the Java element label provider is empty. As a result toString() is called on such elements. This seems wrong to me but have to ask Martin why he made such a change. !!!Other label providers that Martin changed in same manner: org.eclipse.jdt.ui.JavaElementLabelProvider org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.viewsupport.JavaUILabelProvider

Now when hovering the label 'Back' appears for ~5 seconds then disapears and stays gone. Good. Verified. ->20020205. JRT.
