Better late than never I guess?

Geez I just realized many people probably never lived to see this fixed... fuck. Now I'm sad and feeling extra mortal.

Most of us are immortal this days. We like to hang out in the deep blue sea

Oh no, I thought that was a feature. I came to rely on it to transcribe long tab titles into my text editor. Is there any way to restore the old behaviour in Firefox? Otherwise I'll have to stick with Firefox 118 or switch web browsers, since Firefox 119 seems to break my longstanding workflow. :(

Any ideas?

[-] fossisfun@lemmy.ml 50 points 8 months ago

(Hopefully) obviously /s

Thanks for fixing this issue! I didn't even know until today that it affected non-Linux systems as well.

And here is an example of a Priority 4, Severity 4 bug, and the average time it takes to fix such bugs.

[-] squid@feddit.uk 39 points 8 months ago

I saw this in a few applications, I wonder if it's a general bug with shared software code

[-] AProfessional@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Not many projects reuse anything from Firefox.

[-] pickscrape@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago

Finally! This one has bugged me for so long...

[-] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 28 points 8 months ago

The real Bugzilla

[-] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I genuinely assumed that was a GTK bug, the more you know

[-] snowe@programming.dev 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah I never realized this was Firefox at all. I swear I saw it in other applications.

[-] AnActOfCreation@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

Hell I see this in Windows all the time. I think tooltips are hard!

[-] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 8 months ago

This bug must've been older than millions of Firefox users.

[-] Kuba@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah this bug is 8 Years older than me

[-] SpaceXplorer_8042@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

4 older than me. Holy shit now that hits different.

[-] russjr08@outpost.zeuslink.net 13 points 8 months ago

Oh. My. God.

Definitely one of the changes I'll be most appreciative of, that was incredibly annoying.

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

Did they finally fix that?!?! Time to run a few xbps commands!! Why am I so pumped about this? Hopefully this includes the download preview panel, too!

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

Link to Bugzilla

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Never had that problem myself. Now I feel left out.

[-] Takios@feddit.de 6 points 8 months ago

That I would see this day...I can die in peace now.

[-] GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Oh come on. Enjoy the patch a little first, then go!

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

these sticky tooltips, man...

even Windows has a sticky tooltip bug with the system tray since... well, since the system tray exists that isn't resolved (when it's on either side of the monitor)

[-] Krafting@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Oh.. finally!

[-] GenBlob@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Damn. I have dealt with this for so long that I forgot it was even a bug.
