From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20020107
BuildID:    2002010703

Some character entities are displayed as thick vertical bar in the tooltip
hovering over images (title attribute of src element). The same characters are
displayed correctly in normal text.
It seems that only the character entities which correspond to
WIN-1252-characters in the range 0x80 to 0x9f are affected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.put title attribut to any image (cf. example below)
2.hover with mouse over image to show text in tooltip
3.

Actual Results:  Some characters displayed as thick vertical bar. Only "
and © are displayed correctly in this example.

Expected Results:  Correct display of all characters

sample html-code:
<IMG src="probe.png" title="&quot;&hellip;&#8230;&bull; &trade;&copy;">

This happens with <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
and without doctype.

(Nav 4.78 at least displayed &#8230; correctly, as expected).

Sorry, last sentence of bug report is wrong (Nav 4.78 only displays alt
attribute, not title).
