Description Will Pittenger CLA 2010-08-29 21:31:05 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I inherited a class where most identified are 1-2 characters.  Class P has a static int member called NE.  If I hover over the identifier in its declaration, it shows the tooltip in the attached image.  This doesn't accommodate the text in the bottom of the tip.

Please note I have 64-bit Vista with 32-bit Eclipse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a Java file, declare class P
2. Inside there, declare "static int NE;".
3. On that line, hover over "NE".
4. You will see a tooltip like I show in the image.

Can reproduce if I use a bigger dialog font, e.g. 10pt.
