In my plugin, I've added an action that adds a button to the tool bar and it
has a tooltip. After I've used the button once, the tooltip disappears for
the remainder the of Eclipse session. I've noticed this behavior in some,
but not all stock Eclipse toolbar buttons. Are there any tricks to retain
the tooltip display?
- the button for launching the web browser behaves the same way, the tooltip
permanently disappears
- the search button kind of behaves like this, but pressing selected other
buttons will cause the tooltip to reappear.
- most other buttons, the tooltip never disappears.
Thanks,
Dave

I think I figured it out. Not how to fix it, but I understand what Eclipse
is doing:
Eclipse groups the toolbar buttons as you add them. If you click on a
toolbar item, it's tooltip will be disabled . sometimes permanently,
sometimes temporarily. If there is one toobar button in the group, the
tooltip is permanently disabled. If there is more than one button in the
group, the tooltip will be disabled for the button you clicked until you
hover over another button in the group. Then, the tooltip of the button
you hover over will display and the tooltip of the button you previously
clicked will be reenabled. I don't know if this is a bug, or as designed.
Either way it's odd behavior!!
