598974 - [verbatim] tooltips can't contain HTML

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Verbatim, defect)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

Attachment: screenshot

Since browsers are not interpreting HTML in tooltips, we must never feed HTML content to title attributes. 

In the screenshot above, I was getting some HTML on the tooltip, because the translation comment contained some HTML content.

I am going to assign this particular bug to Dwayne Bailey.  It's likely that this bug should be filed in http://bugs.locamotion.org/ so if that is the case, I'll let Dwayne comment here.  Thanks for filing.

I can't reproduce this on Pootle 2.1.1, Verbatim is running 2.0.  So this bug seems to be fixed on newer version of Pootle.

Comment 3

[chris hofmann]

https://localize.mozilla.org/about.html says verbatim is now on Pootle 2.1.6 

is this still a problem or can we close?

I had a look at the same string and the problem isn't there any more. The specific comment seems to have changed, so that might be related, but I don't think we've seen this recently. For now I'm marking as fixed. Tomer, if you hit this issue again, feel free to reopen the bug.
