Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 45375

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 StumbleUpon/1.998

title="descriptive tips are truncated to 1 line, should be a text wrapped box"
Every other browser shows the whole tip in a text-wrapped box. Firefox breaks
pages like this that make it possible to read stories without even clicking them
using a tag which has been standard for years. I would love Firefox to handle
title tips properly and it could be as simple as fixing the theme if I'm not
mistaken.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Rollover the story headlines on the right of the page.
Actual Results:  
You see a tooltip from their title="" property truncated with a ... on a single
line.


Expected Results:  
Look at the same page in Safari, IE or any other browser and see the
multiple-line box as it should be.

If you decide to fix this let me know so I can thank you! [e-mail]
