bug#2278: 23.0.60; Tooltips truncated on OS X

[Nick Roberts]

On OSX all multi-line tooltips display just the first line.  I don't know if
this is a bug with OSX or Emacs: generally applications only seem to use one
line for tooltips as did Emacs until recently.

bug#2747: [PATCH] 23.0.91; multi-line tooltips don't work on nextstep

[Nikolaj Schumacher]

In GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.6.0, NS apple-appkit-949.43)
 of 2009-03-22 on thursday
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.949
configured using `configure  '--with-ns' '--with-x''


Only the first line multi-line tooltips like

  (tooltip-show "foo\nbar")

appear on nextstep.


The following patch seems to be a simple (perhaps too simple?) solution:

It might solve this particular problem, but I think the whole tooltip
code should be rewritten so as to use an Emacs frame like in the other
platforms.

Do you still see this problem?  IIUC, the 2009-06-14 change by Sidney
Markowitz was supposed to fix this, but the bug has not been closed in
our database.

Sorry, but I no longer have use of a Mac to test it.

Hi David,

Since you're the one who checked Sidney Markowitz's patch in, could you
verify that this problem is fixed?

done.

The bug tracker seems broken - the second bug (2747) is listed, but the link doesn't work (404):

http://debbugs.gnu.org/db/27/2747.html

(This was merged with another one).

Also, the donarmstrong URLs should, perhaps, be redirected automatically to the analogous debbugs.gnu.org ones in order to preserve search engine entries and other archived links.
