--- Comment #5 from Regina Henschel <[email protected]> ---
The extended tips wrap at about 40 characters (in Latin script) and that looks
good.

If the maximal length is decreased, long normal tips will be handled as if they
are extended tips. The value for HELPTEXTMAXLEN only determines when the switch
appears. It is in
https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/app/help.cxx?r=1f0d2531dbeff80eeb3a4fe8485ef1baec6d5752&mo=1322&fi=40#325

When a long normal tip is handled as extended tip, they will no longer
automatically disappear. Such should only happen for really long tips. For them
you need more time to read anyway. Going down with HELPTEXTMAXLEN to 50 would
affect too many help tips, I think.

In general I think, that normal help tips should always wrap the same as
extended tips, but their ability of automatically disappearing should be kept.
If there is no easy solution for that, changing the threshold value to 100 is a
good compromise.

I have learned on the mailing list, that disappearing of help tips is an
advanced accessibility setting. It is `IsHelpTipsDisappear` and
`HelpTipSeconds` in org.openoffice.Office.Common.Accessibility.
