The applet included in this description shows a small line running horizontally on the screen where the tooltip ought to be when running in the latest version of Netscape for Solaris. The same code and class file runs correctly with appletviewer. The customer reporting this problem has indicated that Netscape and HotJava are not displaying the text for tooltips under Windows.
