281966 - Title Attribute for images truncated to 80 characters

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218223

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matthew Austin]

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

Every time an image description is CORRECTLY written in the TITLE attribute of
the image tag (see, I noticed another bug and decided to update my website to be
4.1 compliant...), Firefox does something insanely stupid and truncates the text
to 80 characters, depositing a "..." after said 80 characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a webpage with an image on it (using raw html) and write a title
attribute for that image that's >80 characters in length.
2. Open the webpage in Firefox 1.0.
3. Hover over the image.

Actual Results:  
Firefox will do something like this (sans quotes, of course):

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country,  you stu..."

(and that's not necessarily the text Firefox says, but you get the idea.)

Expected Results:  
...not truncated the "title" tag?  I haven't found anything in the W3C's
compliance standards that says ANYTHING about truncating those title attributes.

Does it everywhere.
