Thanks to fix of Bug 32157, Title tips now pops up for cropped text.
But popup vanishes in an instant. It should remain 5 or 6 seconds like Mozilla
behaves.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Phoenix with a new profile.
2. Press [Ctrl]+[B] to open Bookmark Sidebar.
3. Narrow the Sidebar as thin as you can (drag separator towards left).
4. Stay mouse cursor on cropped bookmark or bookmark folder text.
(The example of cropped text is: "Bookmarks Toolbar…")

Actual Results:  
A fully qualified text on tooltips comes up, but it vanishes immediately.

Expected Results:  
The tooltip should remain a few second.

I could also confirmed with 2003032308.

I noticed that Minotaur (Thunderbird) has same problem.
There must be something to do with this bug.

I can confirm this on build 20030529 with W2K and it makes the tooltips in the
sidebar absolutely unusable.  It flashes way too fast to read the Bookmark or
History title and given the dimensions of the sidebar, tooltips are very
necessary to operation.

Scott:
This occurs on Thunderbird too.
I found the reason of this.

Mozilla comment outs "margin: -2px 0px 0px -3px;"

I actually just checked this patch in since it was essentially porting a xpfe
fix over here. And it did fix this problem in thunderbird as well as firebird.

Please re-open if there is a problem with this patch.
