104379 - Title attrs which wrap in the tooltip are self-defeating in frames

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[Andrew Chadwick]

Elements which have a "title" attribute which is sufficiently long to wrap
in the GTK+ tooltip cannot be read when the page they're on is in a frame.

If a page is framed, then the tooltip wil disappear as soon as it's mapped
when the mouse is hovered and stopped over an item with a TITLE attribute
set to a string long enough to cause ?GtkMozEmbed to wrap it.

It's very difficult to observe, but if you play around, you'll notice that
the long tooltips are causing the mouse to "bounce" by one pixel when the
tooltip is posted. I guess this is being interpreted as mouse motion, which
gets rid of the tooltip.

FYI, I am using the Xenophilia GTK theme.

This does not happen in Mozilla 0.9.4 (which uses its own tooltip
implementation), just Galeon (and presumably skipstone, nautilus-mozilla, et al.).

[Marco of the Galeon project says this is a GtkMozEmbed bug and has asked me to
report it here. See the attached URL for details.]

This sounds very close to bug 45375. Maybe the underlying problem is the same.

Embedding: GTK Widget isn't a thing, closing.
