Description Gregor Mandel

Created attachment 233315 [details]
Screenshot showing clipped tooltips

Upon hovering an unknown Java type some of the suggested imports in Eclipse's tooltip are clipped like shown in the attachment. Valid and invalid ones being nicely interwoven, the cut off entries don't seem to occur in any particular order.

The 'clippsed link is still working though - even if it's hard to guess beforehand what it has up its sleeve.

The string's length alone is not causing this since some strings longer than clipped ones are fully shown.

I'm running Eclipse 4.2.2 on fully updated Kubuntu and tried various themes inside Eclipse (GTK, Classic, Default Theme).

This bug affects Unity as well.

Sorry, but I can't see any even distant similarity between this UI bug and the whole "duplicate" chain talking about multi launch configurations?

Oops, I picked the wrong bug number.

Actually, bug 393602 is even closer to this one.
