Bug 100387 CTabFolder creates and disposes a Shell on every MouseHover
Reported: 2005-06-16 08:44:38 | Status: resolved fixed

CTabFolder.showToolTip() currently does the following: On MouseHover: - create a temporary shell - if there's a tooltip: set it and show it - otherwise: dispose the shell There are no tooltips for the tabs used for views in Eclipse. As you hover over each tab, a new Shell is created and disposed on each MouseHover event.
