Subject: bug#5908: tooltip-show breaks with multiline tip on Emacs for Windows v22.2.1
Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:10:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <COL124-DS3103AEF3C1A1948EBD87DCE160@phx.gbl> (raw)
Emacs doesn't properly display long text tooltips, or multi-line tooltips,
on Windows.
You can see a picture of the problem here:
http://i42.tinypic.com/qqu0ja.jpg
And you can demonstrate it for yourself by doing
(tooltip-show "very very long string message........" )
You'll see that the last line in the displayed tooltip is clipped.
It seems that the size of the tooltip is not correctly calculated.
Appending a newline '\n' to the string to be displayed, allows the tooltip
to be seen in its entirety, although with more "border" than is necessary on
the bottom of the text.
In GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6001)
of 2008-03-26 on RELEASE
