status message tooltip in empathy does not break to lines when it is too long

[Rami Al-Rfou']

Binary package hint: empathy

If one the contacts has a very long status message hovering over the contact will give a very wide [wider than the screen] tooltip, the same happen when you call the contact information

Thank you for your report and helping to make ubuntu better. This is a wont Fix bug because the status messages are designed to be ellipsized and if you want to read the rest of them you can move your mouse over them and it will tooltip the full status message.

yeah, I think you got my bug wrong. I meant the tooltip. When the status
message is very long I know that it can not be displayed in the contacts
window. Moreover, hovering to get the tooltip is the solution, the problem
is when have very long message the tooltip will be wider the screen and the
same if press right click and choose contact information
