Details

In Html, attributes may contain newline characters, i.e., may go over more than one line: <html> <body> <span title="This text contains a newline here">move mouse over here</span> </body> </html> If the content of the title attribute is displayed in a tooltip, it is displayed as is, i.e. the newline character is drawn (as a small black box, as there is no corresponding character in the font). IMHO, the content of the title attribute should be displayed normalized by replacing any sequence of white space (including newline) with a single space character. If a newline appears explicitly (#&10;), it would be nice if the tooltip would contain multiple lines, but this is an RFE and beyond the scope of this bug.
