59224 - Anchor titles displaying off the screen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57599

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Ayo]

When hovering over the javascript winopen a box is supposed to pop up with the
provided text, but with this a long string of text is printed when hovering over
the "AGP Pro" link.  I have a pretty big monitor and that long string of text
just isn't fitting on my screen even at high resolutions.

The problem here is the way the title attribute of an anchor is displayed when
the mouse is moved over the link.
For long text IE breaks the text onto multiple lines and keeps the text on the
screen, but Mozilla puts the text on one line and lets it go off the screen.
Also Mozilla seems like it can only handle a line of text as wide as the screen
(around 193 characters for me), but IE can handle longer.

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.


Browser, not engine. Not sure of which component here; reassigning to 
Event Handling for further triage -
