I tried inserting new lines instead of the spaces and the problem is worse - I have to truncate the GString holding the list of IPs even shorter for the tooltip to appear on the screen. Casual browsing of the GTK source code doesn't show a strict limit on how long the tooltip can be (which is really a label inside of the pop-up). The tooltip pop-up is only a few IPv4 addresses wide and the width seems to be based on many calculations internal to GTK. Another option is to make part/all of that line a button without a border that brings up a pop-up listing the IPs. Maybe it's best to just stick to the addresses that will fit in the window and put ... at the end and no more.
