#601 Tooltip blocks mouse click on context (right click) menu

[Anonymous]

platform: MS Windows XP Prof 2002 SP3

soapUI version: 3.6.1 Build dist-111-2010-10-18, Build Date 2010/10/18 14:57

JRE version:

If soapUI-3.6.1.exe is using the bundled jre in eviware/soapUI-3.6.1/jre:

java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

If it is instead using the java.exe in my path:

java version "1.6.0_23"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_23-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode, sharing)

The place it is happening for me is in the context menu on "Test Steps". The spacing of the options are a little cramped there, so the tooltip for "Show TestCase Editor" leaks over into "Add Step". If you click the tooltip (under the tooltip is the "Add Step" option I want), the context menu loses focus and disappears.

Presumably, this can happen elsewhere in the app, however, the spacing of the tooltips and options has only been a problem (well, minor inconvenience) for me in Test Cases' context menu so far.

Thanks for the excellent product!

Keep up the good work!

The issue of tooltips blocking the mouse focus is a problem in Swing. In soapUI there is a workaround, which is to disable all tooltips (accessible in the main settings dialog under "UI Setting"). Unfortuantely unless this is fixed in Swing, we cannot fix this bug.
