Update TrayIcon Tooltip on Windows [message #659227]

Hi,

I have a trayIcon that has a tooltip. This tooltip has to refresh periodically (let's say every second).

On Fedora and Gnome the tooltip is refreshed, on Windows it doesn't. Since I couldn't find a refresh method on the tooltip itself, I use this code to refresh my tooltip:

private void update(final String text) {
                toolTip.setVisible(false);
                toolTip.setMessage(text);
                toolTip.setVisible(true);
}

Does someone know anything about this? Is this a bug? Do I have to refresh it differently?

Kind regards,
Artur
