When we test dynamic help for IES37&IES41, we noticed there is no tooltip showing up for "Project Explorer". Please see attached screen for detail

Screenshot depicting the behaviour in question.

When the 'Project Explorer' link is hovered over, no tooltip appears. For other views, all the 'See also:' links seems to have a tooltip.

Francis, do you think our help is missing some strings here?
Comment 4 Chris Goldthorpe CLA 2011-08-25 13:01:14 EDT
The tooltip shows the name of the book in which the context help topic is found. The reason there is no tooltip for "Project Explorer" is that the topic href, /org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-73.htm is not in any of the books in the help system. This is perfectly legal but I do not know whether it is by accident or by design. I also notice that there are two somewhat similar help pages which describe the Project Explorer, http://127.0.0.1:57920/help/ntopic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/concepts/cnav.htm and /org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/reference/ref-73.htm, one of which is used for context help and one of which appears in the table of contents.

I don't think that this is a serious problem which would warrant a fix in a 3.7 service release but for 3.8 someone from platform UI might want to consider changing things so that the same page is used for context help and the table of contents.
