420862 - Show abbreviated content in bug lists fully in tooltips

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Query/Bug List, enhancement)

Description

[Marc Schumann [:Wurblzap]]

Attachment: Patch

While it's useful to have bugs' summaries abbreviated in bug lists, it would be useful to have full summaries at hand, to remove the need to navigate to a bug in order to see its summary.

This patch gives cells' full contents as an <abbr> tooltip.

Patch

The patch is fine, but I don't want to have all abbreviated strings to be underlined. This makes the UI really ugly. Please add whatever is required to buglist.css to hide the underline (decoration: none or something like that).

Another implementation, using <div title=""> instead of <abbr>.

Must be get_status(bug.$column) instead of status_descs.${bug.$column}. Otherwise looks good and works fine. r=LpSolit

If someone else than me does the checkin, don't forget to fix get_status().
