Description aldobrucale 2011-09-12 10:40:59 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 201109110600 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.7 ]

Value tooltips are not displayed hovering variables in the editor.
Comment 1 Miloslav Metelka 2011-09-14 08:17:13 UTC 
I can reproduce as well on Ubuntu 11.04 with 2011/09/13 dev build. I think this should be P1 since this is rather annoying regression.
Comment 2 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2011-09-14 20:57:00 UTC 
Works for me correctly on Ubuntu with both JDK 6u27 and JDK 7 using my local today's build.

Is it random or can you reproduce the bug all the time?
Comment 3 aldobrucale 2011-09-15 09:03:28 UTC 
I'm now using build 201109120600 and the tooltips are showing, but since Miroslav has been able to reproduce the bug with a newer build I'd say it's random. Is there any flag I can set to get more information in messages.log?
Comment 4 Miloslav Metelka 2011-09-15 09:56:50 UTC 
Works correctly for me in today's dev build as well so feel free to either close the issue or downgrade it and mark as random.
Since I develop mostly on dev builds in case it would reapper I will possibly show Martin E. the problem and we can do some more debugging.
Comment 5 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2011-09-15 09:59:28 UTC 
Thanks for the feedback. Closing for now.
Comment 6 aldobrucale 2011-09-20 15:48:22 UTC 
It'still happening in build 201109180600
Comment 7 Miloslav Metelka 2011-09-20 16:04:51 UTC 
Yes I've seen it in today's build too so I should be able to reproduce it. I'll talk to Martin E. and we'll attempt to resolve the problem.
Comment 8 Martin Entlicher 2011-09-20 16:34:01 UTC 
I've just installed netbeans-trunk-nightly-201109180600-javase.zip created Java project and tooltips works fine for me when I debug that project.
Any concrete steps to reproduce?
Do you see other tooltips when you finish the debugger session? E.g. create some syntax bug and check if a tooltip is displayed upon the red underline...
Comment 9 aldobrucale 2011-09-21 08:32:52 UTC 
I don't see any tooltip in the editor during regular java editing either - I hadn't noticed that. For syntax errors, the tooltips are only shown hovering over the error icons on the left, but not over the red underline. 

I havent' noticed any regularity in this behaviour: sometimes the editor tooltips are displayed but most of the times they're not.
Comment 10 Miloslav Metelka 2011-09-21 08:33:57 UTC 
Right, other tooltips seem also to not appear so I've filed issue #202395.
