Description

[Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

On mouseover there is title attribute value being displayed just once, then on next mouseover nothing is displayed

Also - sometime there is no title tooltip being displayed whatsoever.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to URL http://www.bratislavahotels.com/hotel-kyjev-bratislava
2. Mouse over the calendar in the right column (find orange coloured square)
3. Multilne title tooltip should be displayed saying  something like:
Rooms available:
Double with TV
Suite
4. Continue to any other orange day/square - no tooltip is displayed

Actual Results:  
Tooltip is sometimes displayed once, then no tooltip is displayed

Expected Results:  
Tooltip should be displayed every time mouse is over the element with title attribute applied

Actually, I have just found that you need to click to display the tooltip whatsoever. This is certainly a big usability mistake. No talking about the problem with just one tooltip displayed and then Firefox denying to display any further.

BTW: This is valid also for just one line title attributes.

Bug 45375 is a Seamonkey bug -> reopening (bug 218223 would be the Firefox bug)

This report seems to be about a missing tooltip under certain circumstances,
not wrapping multiline tooltips correctly (which actually is bug 67127, BTW).

As to what the reporter is seeing: This WFM in Firefox 1.5 on Linux, both inital display without click and reshowing when moving to other squares on the page.

Dan, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox trunk build? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I dowbnloaded the latest trubnk version and the bug is still there.

Before any tooltip (title attribute) is displayed on mouseover, user is required to click anywhere on the page (on plain text or such...)

so, bug is till there.

This may be bug 306669, which was fixed fairly recently (July 2007.)
Please retest with the latest trunk build (same url as comment 7; the builds in there are updated every hour). If you no longer see this problem, please mark this bug as a dupe of bug 306669.
