           Summary: Provide a way to prevent tooltip containing the full
                    text over truncated text
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: dtrebbien at gmail.com


Bug 66178 added an option to automatically show tooltips (with the full text) over text that is truncated via text-overflow:ellipsis.  This option seems to have been recently enabled by default in Safari 6 and WebKit nightly (r147999 built on 09 April 2013 tested), but not in Chrome 26.0.1410.63 or Chrome 28.0.1469.0 canary.

An app that I am writing displays its own tooltip containing the full text if truncated.  So, in Safari 6 and WebKit nightly, I get two tooltips containing the full text.  This "two tooltip" issue has been mentioned on www-style recently as well:  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Apr/0013.html

Please provide an option to disable this tooltip so that I can use my JavaScript tooltip solution rather than WebKit's native tooltip, which in many cases is not as good as the JavaScript tooltip because the WebKit tooltip cannot be customized.
