Hmm, this is more complicated that you wrote. On win XP OS, situation is the following: - really native OS applications like Internet Explorer, WordPad (and Turbo Navigator) don't show tooltips when not active - apps like Firefox or StarOffice do show the tooltips - tooltip management is completely in JDK/Swing's hands, and SwingSet demo don't show tooltips, that's why Netbeans do the same. conclusion: It's questionable if this issue is a bug or a feature, I don't know. In any case this can't be solved on Netbeans side, please enter Swing bug if you think current Swing behaviour is wrong. Thanks. Really not bug on our side .. verified |
