We are testing our SWT application with jre 1.7u65 and notice no tooltips seem to be working any longer. We are using SWT 4.2.1 on Windows 7. Tooltips have disappeared from Buttons, links, you name it. Is this a known problem? In 1.7u55 the tooltips are all there and look just fine. Thanks for any help.

Issue has been raised with Oracle, until it gets fixed try below workaround:
Add below entry in 'deployment.properties':
deployment.security.use.insecure.launcher=true
and it will enable the Visual Styling(bug 439759) and missing tool-tips as well(bug 440937)

If you need any help on locating deployment.properties on your system, then please refer below Oracle tech-note:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/jcp/properties.html
