Details

Build ID: 2000091408
OS: Linux and Win32

The following usage of the 'title' tag is used at http://exn.ca:

<HTML><BODY>
Hello <a href=http://foo.org TITLE="This title
contains
multiple lines
of text">There</a>

The desired tooltip generated from the 'TITLE' tag should contain multiple lines
of text, however, mozilla renders the tooltip as follows:

    'This title||contains||multiple lines||of text'

Unfortunatly, IE$ is currently the only browser that will display the tooltip in
the intended manner.

I think this bug is invalid. In HTML linebreak characters are just whitespace.
Sure Henri, but if line breaks has to be ignored for standard consistency, the
Mozilla should wrap long tooltips. Look for example at http://www.w3c.org ,
their side table descriptions easily goes out of my monitor.

I think Mozilla should wrap long tooltips to a reasonable lenght (in *max* two
lines and a maximum width).

A reasonable width sould be taken from the OS screen preferences. Since -I can
easily imagine- would be painfull to implement in every platform, I think a
reasonable solution should be set the max width of tooltips == current window width.
It would be a cool feature if we could wrap them, like the afore mentioned "long
tooltips" problem.
