Synopsis: Wrong tooltips on many Project tool bar buttons - say Show/Hide
Description
There are a number of Project tool bar buttons whose tooltip is now incorrect, since these buttons are no longer toggles that show a window with one click and then hide the window with a second click. These buttons with incorrect tooltips include Clusters, Features, Search, Favorites, Windows, Properties and Breakpoints. Oddly, the Show/Hide Breakpoints button still *is* a toggle, unlike the other buttons listed above. Clicking it a second time does hide the Breakpoints window. Maybe this is a bug. Also, the Force Environment to Stay in Debugger Mode button always has the tooltip "Force the environment to stay in debugger mode", even though it is a toggle. Tooltip should change depending on whether environment is forced into debugger mode or not. Finally, the Start button does not change its text to Continue any longer after the application has started and is stopped at a breakpoint. I find this very confusing, since Start implies starting the application from the beginning. Tooltip is always the same too, whether Start really means "start application" or "continue execution". I don't know why you changed this since it was fine the way it was. Also, the new Restart button should have "Restart application" as its tooltip, not just "Restart". There may be more such problems but that is all I found for now.

The remaining issue concerning the start/continue command is now fixed. The toolbar button and also the menu item under "debug" will be refreshed with correct texts. (available from revision rev#66710) Thank you for this bug report.
Excepted the start button tooltip not changed after debugging, all other problems mentioned are fixed now. We will have Jocelyn to complete this bug report. ;)
