Description Brion Vibber 2011-04-27 18:54:29 UTC 
Tooltip text for some LiquidThreads UI components contain literal newlines, which are encoded as 
 in the raw HTML output.

IE 8 and Chrome 11 render them as actual newlines, which is presumably what's intended:

  "Remove this thread from new messages.
  It will still be visible on its original talk page."

Firefox 4 collapses the newlines out entirely, which ends up slamming two sentences next to each other without a space in between:

  "Remove this thread from new messages.It will still be visible on its original talk page."

Opera 11 doesn't show the tooltips at all on buttons.


Firefox's behavior seems to be officially at odds with HTML 5 spec now, so there's some chance it may get fixed at some point. :) Upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358452

In the meantime, it might be nice to modify these tooltips so they look nice and read cleanly when newlines are removed: either rewrite onto a single line with proper spacing, or hack in some extra spaces maybe. :P

The upstream bug has been fixed for over a year now. I don't think this issue is major enough (missing spaces in a few tooltips) to justify changing things for old browser versions (FF4-9).
