             Bug #: 28724
           Summary: Newlines in LQT tooltips misrender on Firefox
                    (upstream bug; workaround?)
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: any
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: LiquidThreads
        AssignedTo: agarr...@wikimedia.org
        ReportedBy: br...@wikimedia.org
                CC: bhar...@wikimedia.org
    Classification: Unclassified


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:

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
