Steps to reproduce:

Create a long tooltip containing newline characters
Specify a maximum width that should crop the tooltip, using CSS is a convenient way
Add styles such as overflow or a crop attribute if desired


Actual results:

The tooltip text is not cropped, clipped, or adjusted using an ellipsis.  It fills the screen width before clipping any text with no indication that it is cropped.


Expected results:

The tooltip should be no wider than the max-width specified in CSS or the maxwidth attribute.  It should respect the settings for the crop attribute, the overflow style, and (FF7 onwards) in the text-overflow style.

If the white-space style is set to nowrap then the tooltip is forced to a single line and all these settings work. If there are no newline characters then I think the settings are respected although it can be quite difficult to decipher the correct height, width , and cropping behaviour.
Please provide a public URL or reduced test case that exhibits this issue.
