Bug Description

Hello,

When pointing the cursor to an element, a yellow tip appear. If the tip has not enough place right to the cursor, the tip should move to the left in order to be completely readable (like firefox do).

This should be the case in Epiphany too.

Étienne.

Should this bug depend on 45375? At the very least, it might attract a little more attention to this bug, but I've know idea whether the actual FIX is dependant on bug 45375.

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? What do you call an element? An toolbar button? An HTML element? The tooltips on GTK widgets are placed to the screen without any issue on my dapper installation (aligned to the border as required), maybe you could do a screenshot of your issue?

Thank you for the screenshot. That's known upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129456, which is a gtkmozembed issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233371

Thanks to Sebastian for finding the upstream bug.

I think this issue should be dealt with upstream; we don't have the resources to develop or maintain an appropriate patch.

So I am setting this bug to Rejected (LP assure me that this is the right status even though I agree with the complaint).

Christian, you have to request review to get this in. Does the patch still apply cleanly?

The title wording is incorrect - "wrapping" is not the solution.
There are cases where the tooltip wraps but is still cropped over the edge of the screen.

I don't know enough GTK to review this effectively. Please try... marco, or maybe caillon would be willing.

This patch looks reasonable to me. I wonder if GTK+ 2.12's new tooltip API would be more amenable to being driven at a low level as gtkmozembed needs.

You're using gints above so use them here, too. And fix the comment.

Please use consistent bracing.
