Bug 73390 Tooltips not shown for some widgets
Reported: 2004-09-07 13:39:03 | Status: resolved fixed

On RedHat 9 and SuSE tooltips are not displayed in predictable or consistent manner in StyledText and Tree controls (possibly others). When mouse hovers over tree item whose text is too long to fit in the Tree control horizontally - tooltip must be displayed with full item's text. This happens only occasionaly on these platoforms. The same with StyledText. When there are some regions that must display tootips (not the entire Styledtext widget), these tooltips also displayed *very* rarely.
