Description Jonny Lamb 2009-05-09 20:39:50 UTC

When I leave the mouse cursor over an image or text with some title or abbreviation, a tooltip pops up telling me this text. This is great. However, unlike other GTK tooltips, these appear offscreen if they're too long and close to the side of the screen, they draw offscreen. Normal GTK tooltips just clip to the side of the screen in similar conditions.

Here's a screenshot of it happening. It's pretty easy to reproduce.

Hey, I think it is worth pointing out that WebKitGTK+ uses normal GTK+ tooltips, so this is not an issue in Epiphany 2.27 =).
