Description
The tool tips for tabs in tabbed panes should be like
the tool tips for buttons -- they should list the
mnemonic.  You can see what the button tool tips 
look like by running the tutorial's ButtonDemo:

(Actually, the button tool tip mnemonic display could
be centered better, vertically.)
Comments
EVALUATION It was decided in the fix to 5047379 to no longer show tooltips for mnemonics. See the evaluation of that bug.

EVALUATION Name: drR10255 Date: 08/27/2003 Now hot keys are displayed only in the "Metal" LookAndFeel. But they are displayed incorrect - for all tabs one hot key combination is displayed. This is because of algorythm of method MetalToolTipUI.getAcceleratorString(). There is the cycle inside this method, and it breaks, when we found first hot key with condition JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW. It's neccessary to change realization of MetalToolTipUI.getAcceleratorString(). ======================================================================
