Comment 14 for bug 150937

I have several documents with footnote, which are generally longer than a
sentence or two. Hence they are longer than two or three lines. When I want to
read footnote/endnotes, I normally hover the mouse over the footnote reference
number, rather than going to the end of the page. When I do that, a popup box
appears with the footnote/endnote appearing in it, generally in several short
line. However, in OOo, this does not seem to work. It appears in one long line
which exceeds the width of my screen. See
http://www.warwick.ac.uk/~edrdh/images/OOo_footnote_problem.png for an image of
the problem. As I said, my footnotes/endnote are big. I would like to read them
without having to go the end of page/document back and fort for reading them.
25-35% of the width of screen size boxes with enough distances from the edges
would work great. (MSWord outcome for the same behaviour can be seen here:

this out soon.
Thanks in advance.
