Bug 265570 [logview] hover (tooltip) from error log view doesn't go away
Reported: 2009-02-19 18:26:13 | Status: resolved fixed

to reproduce: # display the Error Log view # select an item that has a stack trace message and hover over it so that the tooltip is visible # *without moving the mouse* use Command-Tab to select another application (I used Safari) that will appear covering the current mouse location # move the mouse over the other application so that it is no longer over the screen area where the Error Log view was displayed # Command-Tab back to Eclipse # notice that the tooltip is still displayed as you work in different editors and views # notice that the tooltip will only go away if the Error Log view receives focus again This is a major usability issue since the tooltip obscures part of the screen and it's difficult to figure out how to make it go away.
