Instead of showing the title line by line,
it is imploded by an curious sign.

In the following, • is just a placeholder for the sign which can't typed in.
It's semilar to the arrow with an x in it you can find on the delete-key of an
apple keyboard

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open link
2. move mouse over thumbnail
3. wait a moment

See Bug 67127 "Newline in tooltips (title attribute) converted to black bars"

There are several bugs against the handling of tooltips, yours is a dup of
one or more of them

It also appears in the title-atribute of the <img> - tags.
