FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-
b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)

FULL OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version
5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Swing tooltips should dissapear when the mouse moves over the tooltip to
avoid obscuring whatever is under the tooltip. Whether this is the way it
should behave in other look and feels, Windows behaves like that, and so
should the windows look and feel under swing.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the Notepad demo program that comes with the JDK.
2. Resize the
frame so that only the buttons are visible (the bottom of the frame should
be right under the buttons). This step is necessary to make the tooltips
appear within the button.
3. Move the mouse cursor over one of the
buttons and wait for the tooltip to appear.
4. Carefully move the mouse
cursor into the tooltip without exiting the button.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Swing tooltips stay visible when the mouse cursor enters them - they should
not.

This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER WORKAROUND :
Don't use lightweight tooltips or don't use tooltips for components near
the border of the frame.
