Bug 141678 [Browser] JavaDoc Hover/Browser-Widget doesn`t show Text
Reported: 2006-05-13 15:45:37 | Status: resolved fixed

In Version 3.1.2 the JavaDocHover works, but if I press F2 I see an empty white page. Now I swiched to 3.2RC4 an the JavadocHover shows an empty white page, too (without pressing F2). I use the same Workspace, Project and JDK 1.5.0_06. After some research, I notice that the Browser-Widget is the problem. I changed the methode JavadocHover.getHoverControlCreator(): ... new AbstractReusableInformationControlCreator() { ... doCreateInformationControl(Shell parent){ return new DefaultInformationControl(...); } So, now I have the same behavior as in 3.1.2. I try Snippet136 (render HTML from memory) from the SWT-Snippet page to figure out whats wrong. The result from the Snippet was the same, an empty page (<HTML></HTML>) I change the default browser setting from WinXP to my Firefox-Browser, but this does not work. The Browser-Widget use the IE. Maybe its a SecuritySeeting thing from IE. I use the IE with the newest Patches. Any idea? How can I change the default Browser to FireFox?
