Description Jan Jancura 2004-10-21 10:55:54 UTC 
In debugger, when you look at the local variables
and the column "toString()", 
the string is often larger than the column. I
suggest the tooltip for this 
cell displays all the value of the toString. Now,
it display "Displays value 
of the toString call", which is a "no-information"...
Comment 1 _ tboudreau 2004-10-21 11:02:04 UTC 
Note, whoever fixes this should html-ize the tooltip, and truncate it after some number of 
characters, so we don't either have tooltips wider than the screen or tooltips that fill the 
whole screen (this *is* possible and very ugly).

Some code to do this exists in org.openide.explorer.propertysheet.PropUtils.
