Steps to reproduce: - move mouse over an activity - tooltip will appear Now, wherever you move the mouse the tooltip will be present. User has to click mouse to hide tooltip This behavior is not a standard tooltip behavior. Tooltip should appear only when the mouse pointer is hanging for some time over an activity and should disappear when the pointer leaves activity area. And tooltip should definitely disappear when mouse is moved out of the process on the diagram This is a usability issue
After looking at some other Swing components the current behavior seems to be consistent. But we still need to hide the tooltip when user moves pointer out of the process area (somewhere to the empty diagram)
Fixed in hula
Verified on NetBeans IDE 6.0 Preview (M9, build 070502) and Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86
