Oops - in Step 2 CTRL key needs to be pressed in order for the tooltip to pop up.
Reproducible on Linux as well
Yeah, I can reproduce it too. The tooltip can also be from an annotation icon (eg. the circled I or O for implemented/overriden metthods).

After using Netbeans 6.0 for just a few hours now I've encountered this problem three times (With the squiggly error tooltip, not Ctrl+hover). It's really annoying because the tooltip will not disappear for a few minutes (or until you restart the IDE) and obscures a portion of your screen.
Seems like a duplicate of issue #119247. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 119247 ***
