Description Markus Keller CLA 2007-12-02 19:04:42 EST 
CLabel#setText(String) does not specify that "&" in the text is interpreted as mnemonic.

Should have a boilerplate like org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Label#setText(String).
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2007-12-03 05:06:13 EST 
Same with setToolTipText(String).
Comment 2 Steve Northover CLA 2007-12-05 16:53:09 EST 
Please just fix CLabel to have the right documentation.

I'm pretty sure that tooltip does not process "&".

> I'm pretty sure that tooltip does not process "&".

See bug 188271. It looks like all platforms now strip out single ampersands in tooltip texts. This should be documented in Control#setToolTipText(String).

Wouldn't right now be the perfect time to clarify these Javadocs once and for all? I just had a conflict in Control#setToolTipText()...
