Compile and run the program shown below. When positioning the mouse over the
"Exit" button, the tooltip either does not appear at all, or if it does, it just
flickers on and off, and no text is ever displayed.
If the setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false) line is removed, this program behaves
OK if the tooltip fits, but you get the flickering thing if it does not.

Platform: Windows NT 4.0 sp5, JDK 1.3.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class ToolTipTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setLightWeightPopupEnabled(false);
new ToolTipTest(args);
    }

    private ToolTipTest(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame("ToolTipTest");
f.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
JButton b = new JButton("Exit");
b.setToolTipText("This is a long ToolTip.");
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
f.getContentPane().add(b);
f.pack();
f.setVisible(true);
    }
}
