Description libing wang CLA 2016-08-31 11:23:11 EDT
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open editor and resize it to make it smaller.
2. Hover on an error marker that has multiple annotations. An example would be a simple json file like this:
{"foo : "bar"}
3. You will see that the hover popup gives you partial contents to clipped contents.

Now you have to hover on the popup and brings the scroll bar then you scroll it to see all the contents.
You can also resize the popup to see all the contents but the resize-able icon is not even there at beginning.

This was reported by a user of Orion who is consuming the compare widget.

The contents are not clipped on X-axis, it just puts things onto the next line and allows scrolling.  We only display scrollbars when hovering over it because they are rarely needed. If the user is only using keyboard they would use F2 to see the tooltip which gives it focus and the scrollbars are displayed.

I would recommend closing this as WORKSFORME unless there is a suggestion on how we should improve this.
