Description Patrizio Bruno 2005-06-22 08:42:13 UTC 
Why don't add some dot (...) at the end of truncated strings and "auto-add" a
baloon (hint) whith the complete text as in windows?
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2005-06-22 13:54:36 UTC 
You need to be a lot more specific about where you are looking to see
this functionality added.
Comment 2 Patrizio Bruno 2005-06-24 12:21:32 UTC 
I'm talking especially about strings in GtkTreeView, GtkIconView, GtkComboBox,
GtkComboBoxEntry and GtkMenu but this functionality could be also useful in
GtkLabel and GtkButton.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2005-06-28 12:42:25 UTC 
Doing this in tree views, icon views or combo boxes will need tooltip support in
cell renderers - this is covered by bug 80980

Doing it in menus will need tooltips to be supported on menus -- this is covered
by bug 50619

In general, I think it should be an apps responsibility to set this up, it
should not be an automatic side-effect of ellipsizing.

I'll close this bug, since 80980/50619 cover the requested features.
