long tooltip truncation
(Don't know if this is the right component.)
When displaying long tooltips, Mozilla doesn't do linebreaking, making the
tooltip flow past the end of the screen (or at least making the tooltip very
difficult to read with overly long lines). You can see an example at
<URL:http://home.no.net/huftis/> (hover over the text with green underlining).
I propose that Mozilla should break lines in tooltips so there's only ~66
characters on each line.

Note this comment from duplicate bug 59224. Changing OS to "All" -
------- Additional Comments From Phil Schwartau 2000-11-06 11:05 -------
Confirming bug using commericial binaries 20001105xx on WinNT, Linux, and Mac.
Changing OS to "All". Note the behavior on all three platforms is different.
On Linux, long titles get truncated when we reach the edge of the screen;
on the other two platforms, the title continues off the screen.

I have an example of this in xpfe. Will create an image attachment to
illustrate. Multiline tooltips are not handled.

In the context of XUL tooltips, you can limit the width of your tooltip by
specifying a hardcoded width.
<popup id="aTooltip"
class="tooltip"
oncreate="return koFillInTooltip(document.tooltipNode);">
<html id="TOOLTIP-tooltipText" class="tooltip-label" flex="1" width="300"/>
</popup>
It wraps, but the other lines are chopped (tooltip, not text). The attachment on
this bug is a good example of how it looks.

This is probably related to bug 92093 in that if you fix 92093 this will in
effect be fixed as well.

Tom Mraz: did you just volunteer to fix this bug? if not you should not be
messing w/ the target milestone field, that's reserved for the assignee's use
to indicate when the assignee hopes to fix the bug.
