On Mac OS X(10.4) running in japanese language, Netbeans' java editor can not display error-tooltips , correctly, when the tooltip consists of 2-byte charactors(Japanese). On Japanese Mac OS X, all of java error messages (including tool tip) are displayed with japanese 2-byte chars. so I can not read all error tooltip.

This seems serious enough to make p2 - tooltip is important kind of message and this would impact users of localized nb. ken.frank@sun.com 06/03/2005
it seems regression of 4.1 release, because 4.0 can display Japanese error correctly.

The regression was caused by the fix of the issue #57420
Could you please test it also in debugger tooltip, please? Use the same test case as mentioned in issue #57420 public class StringDebug { public static void main(String[] args) { char c1 = '\33'; // BUG: sqare in tooltip char c2 = '\n'; // OK char c3 = '"'; // BUG: display '\"' (backslash unneeded) char c4 = '\''; // BUG: display ''' (backslash missing) char c5 = '\\'; // OK char c6 = '\ue161'; // BUG: sqare in tooltip String s = "\33\n\"'\\\ue161"; // FULL OF BUGS IN TOOLTIP } // <--- PUT BREAKPOINT HERE } 1. Put the breakpoint, add a new watch of String s. 2. F5 3. Look at watches List and place the cursor over [...] right to value of variable "s" for tooltip displaying. Do you see Japanese characters or escaped unicode characters in the tooltip?
I see escaped unicode characters. See an attached picture.

is this shown just on mac or on windows and/or unix ? ken.frank@sun.com
I see it on Mac OS X 1.4.1/Java 1.4.2_07 using Netbeans 4.1 release build.
This Mac OX only issue -> lowering priority to P3. In fact it works fine on Mac OS X 10.4.3 with latest J2SE 5.0. So it seems to be JDK bug. Closing as fixed.
