Hi Petr, Thanks for the fast answer!
I don’t think Swing tooltips support rich text. At least I couldn’t find any documentation about it and the code in e.g. MetalToolTipUI doesn’t appear to do. I suppose there is no way to get it working in both cases (beside disabling of the native menu bar), right? Will JavaFX provide a better experience in that regard? Cheers, Jörn. On 21.
