when hovering over an image/text with a long title, the pop-up text is cut off
after a certain number of characters.  This prevents the user from viewing the
entire title.  there is also a similar mozilla bug which occurs on longer
titles, in which the title gets cut off at the edge of the screen.

i must admit i enjoy the microsoft method of wrapping the text at a certain
number of characters.

This is a duplicate of bug 45375

And it's assigned, so there will be a solution eventually, they just have to
find where the title text is buggy. In the meantime I'd suggest using longdesc
instead, since title is only supposed to be a very short element, while longdesc
is for more elaberate descriptions. I hope it gets fixed soon though :)
