Description Milan Kubec 2003-11-10 14:17:55 UTC 
If user places and leaves cursor over some
variable to see its value during debugging the
value is not updated if user does stepping through
the code.
Comment 1 Maros Sandor 2003-12-18 14:14:52 UTC 
Users should create watches instead. Tooltips are not designed or 
ment to be dynamic, it is a quick static hint. Do we have dynamic 
tooltips in other parts of IDE? If you feel like reopening this 
issue, consider a change to RFE.
Comment 2 Milan Kubec 2004-01-05 11:47:51 UTC 
IMO the usage of tooltips for this purpose is very special and it's
dynamic - when user moves the cursor off the variable and back the
tooltip has new updated value, it means that the tooltip is being
updated. There should be no difference when moving cursor off the
variable for 2 pixels and back or having the cursor on the variable
during debugging.

Reopenig to change to RFE.
Comment 3 Petr Cyhelsky 2008-04-16 14:43:03 UTC 
Changing to P3 - minor enhancements with many possible workarounds (reinvoke the tooltip by moving the mouse, watches)
but the enhancement is still not implemented in NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200804160005), so leaving as reopened.
