1695351 - Tab tooltip should wrap title instead of truncating

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P2)

Description

[Sam Johnson]

Attachment: Example of the issue

With the new tab tooltip style, tooltips are no longer as useful as they were previously. Typically, tooltips are used to show the full name of a UI element if it is truncated in the UI. However, with the new tooltip style, this information is truncated within the tooltip as well.

Attached is a screenshot indicating what I see. Previously, with the old tooltip style, long tab names would wrap within the tooltip if they didn't fit on screen, so they were not truncated unless they were ridiculously long (such as the example in bug 1689682). Ideally, long tab titles would wrap as they did previously, so that the tooltip has a higher likelihood of achieving its purpose.
