44227 - Tooltips have scroll arrows after viewing a long tooltip

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XUL, defect, P5)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

- open navigator
- mouse over any button w/ a tooltip

notice that the tooltip has the up/down scroll arrows like xpMenus. not sure what 
changed recently, I didn't see this before the "classic skin" landing on 6/28.

further note that the mail compose window's tooltips are just fine, so it's not a 
global toolkit issue, just bad style probably. assigning to hangas, because he 
did the landing.

i've done some more investigating, and this only seems to happen after you expose 
a tooltip in the personal toolbar with a really really long url, that appears to 
cause the popup to think it should overflow and hence the scroll arrows.

this does in fact sound like a toolkit issue. smells like the overflow code isn't 
correctly checking that the new content doesn't need the scrollframe when new 
content is added in there. 

eric?

I don't see any tooltiptext coming up in the personal toolbar when I hover with 
the mouse over the buttons. How do I verify this?

Follow the 'New Checkins' link on www.mozilla.org to get the bonsai page. 
Add that page to you bookmarks, do Manage Bookmarks..., and cut and paste
that bookmark into your personal toolbar. Now you have a really long tooltip.

At any rate mac/linux/win32 20000910nn this is indeed fixed (although the 
positioning of the overlong tooltips can be surprising. I'll file a bug
for that [which will be futured, because it's a trivial defect])

yep, works (classic skin). Text seems cropped. Modern skin's doing weird things 
as u said (positioning)
