Better late than never I guess?
Geez I just realized many people probably never lived to see this fixed... fuck. Now I'm sad and feeling extra mortal.

Oh no, I thought that was a feature. I came to rely on it to transcribe long tab titles into my text editor. Is there any way to restore the old behaviour in Firefox? Otherwise I'll have to stick with Firefox 118 or switch web browsers, since Firefox 119 seems to break my longstanding workflow. :(
Any ideas?
(Hopefully) obviously /s
Thanks for fixing this issue! I didn't even know until today that it affected non-Linux systems as well.
I saw this in a few applications, I wonder if it's a general bug with shared software code
Not many projects reuse anything from Firefox.
Finally! This one has bugged me for so long...
The real Bugzilla
I genuinely assumed that was a GTK bug, the more you know
Yeah I never realized this was Firefox at all. I swear I saw it in other applications.
Hell I see this in Windows all the time. I think tooltips are hard!
This bug must've been older than millions of Firefox users.
Yeah this bug is 8 Years older than me
4 older than me. Holy shit now that hits different.
Oh. My. God.
Definitely one of the changes I'll be most appreciative of, that was incredibly annoying.
Did they finally fix that?!?! Time to run a few xbps commands!! Why am I so pumped about this? Hopefully this includes the download preview panel, too!
And here is an example of a Priority 4, Severity 4 bug, and the average time it takes to fix such bugs.
Never had that problem myself. Now I feel left out.
That I would see this day...I can die in peace now.
Oh come on. Enjoy the patch a little first, then go!
these sticky tooltips, man...
even Windows has a sticky tooltip bug with the system tray since... well, since the system tray exists that isn't resolved (when it's on either side of the monitor)
Oh.. finally!
Damn. I have dealt with this for so long that I forgot it was even a bug.
