Comment 8 for bug 1062181

Hello Joel,

The affected versions of OpenOffice are 'whatever versions have displayed the full field code in field tooltips'. I'm afraid I don't know what version that is but I know it has been an issue since the pre-LibreOffice era. I suspect the problem came to light initially not because of a change in OpenOffice but because users starting using (Compiz, Graphics driver) combinations which exhibited the problem.

I'd hope the fix should be relatively simple - elide the tooltip for fields since it isn't useful to have them longer than say, Tweet-length.
