Description Dani Megert CLA 2010-10-14 08:02:33 EDT 
I20101007-1949.

The fast view tool tip no longer shows description. This makes it impossible to see e.g. number of errors and warnings when hovering over the Problems view's fast view icon.

This is very interesting.

The label of a part in a tab folder comes from getPartName(), the tooltip of it in a tab folder comes from getTitleToolTip(), and the tooltip for the icon in a minimized view comes from getTitle(). That's three different strings whereas we only support 'label' and 'tooltip' in our EMF model at the moment.
Comment 2 Eric Moffatt CLA 2010-10-26 14:33:10 EDT 
There's only two places to show the info, the tab's label and the Tooltip...but it's still an issue.

The special string for minimized view's icon's tooltips appear to be a nice bit of polish. Perhaps we need code to 'update' the model's ToolTip field when it goes minimized. We could do this by having a 'tag' listener somewhere in the compatibility layer that listens for the 'minimized' tag to be set on a stack and updates all the view's ttips (even the ones whose TBR == false). It would do the opposite when the minimized tag is removed.
