Run against dev platform JARs and hover the mouse over the long label:

On JDK 5/6, it displays fine. On JDK 7 (b04), the tool tip flickers gray rapidly
and then sticks: a grey window of one text line height appears across the entire
width of the screen and cannot easily be gotten rid of.

This is a significant problem when using the IDE on JDK 7. If you are
unfortunate enough to hover over a unit test failure message (in the Results
window) which is longer than the screen, you will be stuck with a grey bar on
top of your IDE, blocking text etc., until you restart.
