User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.39 Safari/535.19

Steps to reproduce:

In my addon, I create a panel, and populate it with an iframe with chrome content source from my addon, ala addon SDK panel.  The content has several images that have title attributes. 


Actual results:

Those titles should appear as tooltips when you view the popup as a regular page, but no tooltips appear when inside the panel


Expected results:

The tooltips should have shown up.

Attachment: Illustration test addon.

Customize your addon bar and add the Tester icon.  When you click on it, a panel is created and a iframe with a local source is added to it.  The source is: chrome://tester/content/popup.html. Its pure HTML, no code in it.

In the new panel, the image button have no tooltips when you hover over them with mouse.  Now, if you manually open chrome://tester/content/popup.html and hover over the buttons you will see tooltips.

Confirming. Here's an example that's actually using the SDK for people to test with: https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/addon/1042228/latest/

Tooltips work correctly for me locally with an iframe based inside of an HTML file, so maybe something with iframes in XUL?

We need to implement this in the SDK. browser.js has the functionality for webpages here http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#3078

Any ETA on the progress?

Hi Dave, is there a progress report, has this been assigned to anyone?  This is a big limitation for our addon (Ghostery) and we'd like to see it fixed.

This is a low priority for us right now so it is unlikely it will be implemented anytime soon unless someone in the community provides the patch.
