Description Michael Catanzaro 2014-10-05 14:11:38 UTC 
Line wrapping in tooltips broke a year or so ago, maybe with GTK+ 3.10?  Previously tooltips would wrap automatically if they were long, but nowadays this does not happen.

We enable line wrap on the internal GtkLabel, but nowadays this does
nothing unless we also set a max number of characters.

I picked 70 characters arbitrarily-ish, because it looks decent.

sure, makes sense.

Please put this on the 3.14 branch as well
