PI09943: Rhapsody App custom tooltip using platform integration disappears before expanding

Rational Rhapsody 8.1.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Description:
  
  When creating a simple tooltip customization using Rhapsody
  Apps, you get a different result depending on the Rhapsody UI
  used.  If you use vanilla Rhapsody then the tooltip behaves as
  expected. However, if you use the Rhapsody/Eclipse Platform
  Integration then the tooltip frequently disappears before the
  user can expand the tooltip.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Add a new Rhapsody App project and use the Custom Tooltip
  template. I add some basic output to the log window:
  
  
  public void execute(IRPApplication rhapsody, IRPModelElement
  selected) {
   // TODO: Place your code here
   rhapsody.writeToOutputWindow('log', 'TESTTESTESTTEST');
   // Add section with hyperlink to owner element
   addHyperlinkElement('My Owner', selected.getOwner());
  
   // Add section with hyperlinks to children elements
   @SuppressWarnings('unchecked')
   List<IRPModelElement> elements =
  selected.getNestedElements().toList();
   for (IRPModelElement element : elements) {
       addHyperlinkElement('My Children', element);
   }
  }
  
  
  2. Create a new Rhapsody Platform Integration project in Eclipse
  3. Enable custom tooltips in the rhapsody project and load the
  app
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  No workaround
