Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 67127

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[Krishna Chaitanya Rayapuram]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

When a multiline tooltip is specified with a '\n' character seperating the 
lines, firefox is not interpreting the '\n' character correctly. Instead of 
moving the text following '\n' into a new line, it tries to print the '\n' 
character itself, which results in a strange box characters appearing in the 
tooltip on the webpage.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Specify a multiline tooltip for a textbox, with '\n' characters embedded in 
the text of the tooltip, in a webpage.
2.Open the webpage in mozilla firefox, Hover the mouse on the textbox, so that 
the tooltip is shown up.
3.Observe the '\n' character printed as strange box like characters in the 
tooltip.

Actual Results:  
Strange box like characters appear in the tooltip in the place of the '\n' 
character.Text following '\n' character is displayed in the same line.

Expected Results:  
The text following the '\n' character should have been moved into a new line.
