When you are looking at deeply nested element, hover tip often shows up, and it makes it impossible for you to double-click the node to expand it. I have to manually scroll the tree to right and then double-click. Very annoying. The tip should be always left-aligned, even if that causes some text to go beyond the right edge of the screen.
Created attachment 35864 [details] The screen shot when this happens.
This happens for heavyweight popups (tooltip is partially displayed outside the application window) which consume mouse events. Should be fixed for 6.0. I don't agree with aligning the tooltip to left by default - it should fit the original text whenever possible, swing popup logic ensures that it's moved to left to fit the screen area if too long.
Target milestone cleanup.
Milestone cleanup: future->next
Fixed.
