Failure to display ToolTips in applicaiton using JFreeChar

[aravinda]

This is a very weird occurence but in some computers....OS irrelevant...the tooltips generated are not visible. IS there any probable cause for this?

I haven't had any other reports of this. A couple of things to look at:

(1) Are the tooltips not working for all Java apps, or just those using JFreeChart?

(2) Have you tried different JVMs? Sometimes changing versions helps, and in my experience the IBM JDK sometimes works better than the Sun JDK.

Finally, a search through the Sun Java bug database might uncover something.

The tooltips dont work just for the JFreeChart. and like i said it happens in a random manner it works on some computers and in others it dont....

i wonder if when redistriburting the jars whether jfreechart.jar got corrupted?

this one doesnt seem to make any sense

[David Gilbert]

Maybe there is some interaction going on between the popup menu, mouse dragging and tooltips. Some combination of actions might be disabling the tooltips somehow...

somehow i am still defeated... this doesnt seem to make sense...however if anyone can have any idea it would be greatly appreciated.

in gist , same software on some m/cs tooltips on JFreeChart cannot be seen

tried to verify corruption of jars or ordering of jars(?!!) etc etc
but no avail
