How to show this tooltip text : - Mount any jar with classes. (without sources) - Invoke Find command on this filesystem ( click to this filesystem and use Ctrl-F shortcut or Find item from popup menu ) - Fill appeared dialog e.g. type 'Class' to substring field and confirm this dialog. - Select any class and move cursor to position in 'Position within the file:' text area in 'Search Results' dialog. -> Wait to tooltip appeared and check it. There are some crazy characters.
The "crazy characters" represented the line containing the string to be found. If the string was found in a binary file, a "line" of the file was displayed. The tooltip does not display contents of files any more. It displays information about position of the matching string within a file in a non-technical way ("line XX, column YY", while the list in the dialog displays "position XX:YY").
(it is fixed in the trunk)
