1414225 - URL title is displayed outside of application window

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Widget, defect)

Description

[Harm ten Napel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171003101344

Steps to reproduce:

I have a local html page (but it could also be on the web) which has some url
as follows

<A HREF="https://mozilla.org" title="This really is my favorite website">mozilla.org </a>

When this url is near the right edge of the firefox application window and you mouse over the url, the text of the title is displayed partly outside of the application window,
this may have security implications for screensharing applications when you define
only certain areas of the screen to be shared. If the firefox application window is at the screen edge, then the behaviour is correct and the title is within the firefox application window.


Actual results:

The text of the title is displayed partly outside of the application window.


Expected results:

All rendering should be contained within the edge of the application window.

Screenshot that shows the concern: title outside of Firefox screen edge, the mouse pointer is not copied on the clipboard but it was over the 'Prov.' url.

This happens on macOS as well, even with apps made by Apple. I believe it's not a bug.
