Description Paul Webster CLA 2013-07-23 11:14:40 EDT 
Backport to 4.3.1

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #407511 +++

I downloaded Eclipse 4.3M7 SDK. I ran it and switched to the Resource perspective.

I shrank the project explorer and outline pane until both view titles were truncated.
I hovered over each title - a tooltip is not shown for Outline.

I do the same in Eclipse 3.6.2 and a tooltip is shown.

We caused an API breakage with this fix, org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPart.getTitleToolTip() says it never returns null

Dani, the current fix depends on bug 418587

That looks pretty safe to patch back to 4.3.1 as well.  Does that make sense?

Yes, makes sense. And to really fix this, we should also backport

I agree, we'll include those fixes as well (next week :-)
