275480 - When displaying webpages, Firefox truncates the title attributes from inside <a> tags

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 45375

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[luckypingudog]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I've noticed at numberous sites I visit, that Firefox 1.0 truncates the title
attribute from inside <a> tags.

For example, in the source code it might say...

<a href="index.html" title="This is a very long sentence to provide additional
information about the relevant link to the home page">home</a>

... When viewed in Firefox 1.0, the title (ie, the words starting with "This is
a very long sentence"), gets truncated to approximately the first 60 characters.
In place of the remaining (non-visible) characters, are just dots (ie, ...).

I've also noticed the same problem with the title attribute on image maps.

It is particularly problematic when the truncation starts after a letter "f",
therefore displaying "f..." (which looks like a crude word!).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. For example, visit www.webcomedia.co.nz
2. Scroll down to the logo gif image near the bottom of the page
3. Hover the mouse cursor over the image, the title attribute appears
4. Note how it is truncated.
Actual Results:  
The title tag was truncated.

Expected Results:  
Shown the entire tile tag, as evident when using Internet Explorer.

I apologise - I imagine this bug has been reported before but I couldn't find it
when searching.
