See the URL and hover the mouse on the text: the tooltip is oversized. Screenshot coming up.

Reproducible: Always

Attached testcase too, since the URL field is not clickable for me...

    
    

    
  
I believe that this could be a residue of the fix of Bug 218223. Not sure if Bug 378846 covers this, but I'm sure I've seen a similar bug before.

    
    

    
  
The testcase in bug 378846 (attachment 302303 [details]) works for me.

    
    

    
  
I can reproduce it with Fedora + Firefox 3.0.4

    
    

    
  
It looks like something causes a multiline tooltip to always be of a fixed width - data:text/html,<a title="Another supercalifragilisticexpialidocious pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.">Hover here</a> also reproduces the bug, with the exact same width. "data:text/html,<a title="She was tired, and ready for bed, but she wanted to enjoy the luxury of this moment, when everything was still, the day's work was over, and she didn't want to go to bed right away, for the simple reason that she knew, she could do so, whenever she wanted to.">Hover here</a>" also produces the same tooltip width, albeit the width seems to be correct this time - but it's the same as in the previous example.

    
    

    
  
dupe?

perhaps dupe of bug 357337

    
    

    
  
This seems to me to be an artifact of block/inline layout, not a XUL bug.

If I size my window down to about 500 pixels wide, then given my default font the text taken from the tooltip in the test case will wrap as follows:

>NEW - NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED from
>nsIDocShellHistory.useGlobalHistory opening view source

However I cannot persuade Gecko to shrink a box around it to anything less than 100% width except by explicitly specifying one.

I am seeing ridiculously-huge tooltip boxes on Firefox 25 on Linux.  The HTML test code is inline; screenshot will be attached.

David.

If I quit Firefox and restart it and open the exact same HTML file, the tooltip is the correct size!  This is Firefox 25 on Debian 7.0 (Wheezy), amd64 architecture.

I can't reproduce it on Firefox 33, so I think it probably has been fixed.

I still see the bug using the reduced testcase in attachment 347749 [details] (Firefox 33 on Linux).
Flags: needinfo?(magicdice)

    
    

    
  
I see comment 1 with Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 34 on Win8.1, not a bug / not a regression?

WFM for comment 12 on Firefox 34, maybe fixed in bug 957396.

Btw, after reading Bug 357337 this one looks like definitely dupe for it, but have testcase

    
    

    
  
Resolving this bug as a duplicate since bug 357337 has more people and bugs associated with it.

I've copied the testcase from this bug to bug 357337.
