85741 - Alternate Text does not wrap when highlighting links

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 57599

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Scott Jones]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607
BuildID:    20010607

using the "alt" property of an image or the "title" property of an anchor, you
can make extra text appear in a little box when you hold your mouse over the
image/link.  When I hold my mouse over the link labeled "AGP Pro" on the bug
demonstration page, I only see the first line of the text, rather than the full
text.  (View the source, or check it out in Internet Explorer 5).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View my demostration bug page in Mozilla
(http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1487&p=3)
2. Then, hold your mouse over the link "AGP Pro" which is toward the bottom of
the screen


Actual Results:  The alternate text ("title" in this case) that pops up in the
little light yellow window does not wrap around.

Expected Results:  Wrapped the text within the light yellow box so that it
doesn't just stop...

Here's sample code that will reproduce the problem

Side note: Alt attributes on images do _not_ show up as tooltips in Mozilla. 
You should be using title for images as well.

Duplicate of "Mozilla doesn't line-break tooltips".  Thanks for using Mozilla
and reporting bugs!

Duplicate Verified, this is indeed a duplicate of bug 57599:
"When displaying long tooltips, Mozilla doesn't do linebreaking, making the 
tooltip flow past the end of the screen (...)"

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
88132 for details.
