When .url files are placed in menus, and they have mnemonics, the menu item gets a strange tooltip: [text] Help -> _N_etbeans Open Source Site [tip] NetBeans Open Source Site Alt-N 1. Most menu items do not have tooltips, so this looks strange. Generally they should be reserved, if ever, for menu items that do something not obvious from the title. 2. The "Alt-N" implies that this is a globally active shortcut. It is not; it only works if the Help menu is open. It is also redundant given the underlining on the 'N'. 3. On some JDKs, tool tips on a posted menu item can corrupt redisplay a bit and it looks bad.
Fixed in main trunk. http://utilities.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=375729&listName=cvs
