Comment 1 for bug 375636

hi christopher,

Do you mean the notification tooltip thats comes with gnome? This changed with ubuntu since 8.10, perhaps you might try again? I dont have that problem with ubuntu notification (see attached screenshot)

If you mean the tooltip you get after hovering over the icon, i can confirm:

1) get message with very long subject
2) get info by hovering over mail-notification: tooltip spreads over whole screen, does not truncate or split in new line (see attachment hover-long)
3) get "normal" message
4) info still spreads, eventhough a very short message is displayed (hover-short)
