Happens with 3.7 HEAD on Windows

ToolTip.setMessage() and setText() do not update the message/text when the ToolTip is already visible. This works fine on Mac & GTK.

Hi,

On Fedora with Gnome this doesn't work either.
Calling ToolTip.setMessage() if message is already visible will not update the tooltip's message.

A workaround is to make this call:

toolTip.setVisible(flase);
toolTip.setMessage(message);
toolTip.setVisible(true);

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
