Ribbon issues

[Paul_Collins]

I have added some items to the Add-Ins ribbon using VB.Net

In RAC 2011 the text displayed when you hover over the button displays correctly including the text in bold giving the button text (.ItemText)

In RAC 2012 using the same code the bold text part of the tooltip is missing.

Has anyone else come across this and have you found a fix?

I have found out that it is something to do with the .LongDescription property.

If I comment that out and rebuild then the tooltip displays correctly, that is with the text on the button repeated in the tooltip as standard ribbon buttons:

'push button1
Dim PushButton_1_1 As PushButton =
Ribbon_1.AddItem(New PushButtonData("OFFICE", "Office" & vbCrLf & "Address", AppsFolder & "OfficeAddress\OfficeAddress.dll", "OfficeAddress.Class1"))

PushButton_1_1.LargeImage = New BitmapImage(New Uri(AppsFolder & "OfficeAddress\OfficeAddress_32x32.png"))
PushButton_1_1.Image = New BitmapImage(New Uri(AppsFolder & "OfficeAddress\OfficeAddress_16x16.png"))

PushButton_1_1.ToolTip = "Set the office address"
'PushButton_1_1.LongDescription = "<p>Select the Scott Brownrigg office</p><p>to appear on the drawing sheets</p>"

Did something change at 2012 or is it a bug? All was ok in 2011
