[ BUILD # : 201005192201 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.18 ] I often have this situation. For workaround I must mark the variable to see the content. Don't have any idea, what triggers the problem.
Created attachment 99825 [details] Screen shot Mouse-hover only works on the marked position but not on the same variable 2 lines below.
Reproduced. It works fine for me in a sample method that I've created according to your screenshot. But it does not work in your sources - CharacterNamesGenerator6.
It's a regression caused by the fix of issue #37890. Tooltips probably do not work in static methods in inner classes.
