Trying to add custom tooltips on a common navigator view does not work.

For now, I simply try this :
ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.enableFor(commonViewer)


And the label provider of this common viewer is an extension of CellLabelProvider with proper method definition for tooltip.

The thing is that it does not work. When debugging, I can see a call to ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.shouldCreateToolTip(Event) going till line :

String text = labelProvider.getToolTipText(element);



Everything looks fine except that this labelProvider is not mine. Instead, it is a NavigatorDecoratingLabelProvider which inherit from the default tooltip methods implementation which do nothing.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a common navigator view based on a class extending CommonNavigator
2. Extend the following method :
	@Override
	protected CommonViewer createCommonViewer(Composite aParent) {
		final CommonViewer viewer = super.createCommonViewer(aParent);
		ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.enableFor(viewer);
aParent);
	}
3. Provide a LabelProvider in the common navigator definition which extends CellLabelProvider, overriding these 2 methods :
	@Override
	public boolean useNativeToolTip(Object object) {
		return true;
	}
	@Override
	public String getToolTipText(Object element) {
		return "tooltip";
	}
