Description iformanek 2002-05-31 09:45:14 UTC 
If the background compilation detects and error in Java 
source and paints the waved underline under it, the 
tooltip over this text should contain details for the 
error.

Comment 3 ehucka 2003-01-29 15:56:52 UTC 
Do you mean over concrete piece of text or over whole line? Is this
issue still actual?
Comment 4 iformanek 2003-01-29 16:02:47 UTC 
Yes, it is still actual.
The tooltip is displayed only on top of the error glyph (unless I
missed the fix, in which case this would indeed be obsolete), it
should be also displayed over the text which is underlined with the
error wave.

Comment 6 Martin Roskanin 2003-03-12 07:26:45 UTC 
Message from Honza Becicka from duplicated issue #22619:

"Text of parser error annotation should be
displayed in Editor status bar, when the cursor is
on the annoted line. I cannot see parser error until I 
use the mouse.Productivity bug IMHO."
Comment 7 Martin Roskanin 2003-03-12 07:47:33 UTC 
Gabo, Ian, which solution do you consider the best?
Display the message in the tooltip using the mouse or in the editor
status bar in accordance with the caret position?
Comment 8 iformanek 2003-03-12 08:32:14 UTC 
The status line is not context sensitive in any other place in the
IDE, ToolTip is the way to go IMO.
Comment 9 Gabriel Tichy 2003-03-14 17:42:50 UTC 
I do agree, tooltip is the way to go.
