The following application creates a JComboBox with an associated
JToolTip.

If the cursor is placed over the JComboBox, no tooltip is displayed.
This happens only on Solaris.
Using JDK1.2.
========================================================================

/*
 * ComboBoxBug.java
 * JDK1.2, Solaris: JComboBox.setToolTipText() does not work
 *
*/

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.swing.*;
 
 
public class ComboBoxBug {
 
    public static void main(String[] arg) {
	JFrame frame = new JFrame();
 
	JComboBox combobox = new JComboBox();
 	combobox.setToolTipText("Hi there!");
 	System.out.println("combobox.getToolTipText(): " + combobox.getToolTipText());
 	combobox.addItem("Item 1");
 	combobox.addItem("Item 2");
 	combobox.addItem("Item 3");
 
 
 	JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
 	panel.add(new JLabel("This combobox has an associated tooltip"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
 	panel.add(combobox, BorderLayout.CENTER);
 
 	frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
 	frame.pack();
	frame.setSize(300,65);
 	frame.setVisible(true);
     }
 }
 
==============================================================
This also happens on win32, again only with the metal look and feel. still hapenning with 1.0.2
