The Preference traversing keys are showing some wierd behaviour

Reproducible: Always

1. Click the capabilities in the left side.
3. Now click the Left arrow (back) to go back to the General page.
4. Issue2 - In the General page, left arrow (back) is
disabled but the tool tip is showing back to General page.
5. Issue3- Now click the Capabilities in the Left hand side where now
the right arrow (Forward)get disabled and tool tip is pointing to Forward to Capabilities.
6. Issue4- Now again click back to General in the left
side and observe that both back arrow and forward arrow is pointing to

I have proposed for code review a changeset resetting the tooltip whenever the history action buttons are disabled, solving Issue2, Issue3, Issue4, no more incorrect tooltips on disabled action items.
On Issue5, however, I'm not sure whether we should do anything, as in fact, having both forward and backward point to the same tab is a perfectly normal behaviour, as you have not used the history navigation actions, but clicked the tree items General -> Capabilities -> General, and then back button to the capabilities, meaning that both forward and backward history points to the same page.

Agreed on Issue 5.  Thanks for the fix Robert!
