The maximum length for tooltips seems to be hardcoded to 259 characters.
Expected: The length of the tooltip should be equal to the maxlen value in the content plug-in function ContentGetValue which is normally 1023.

I just added a comment with 278 chars and added the comment as "user defined help text". It's displayed in it'S full length.

I can't see such a limit.
Maybe you could put a more detailed description in which situation it happens to you - how can we try to get it.

It's actually not a problem concerning all tooltips. It's seems to apply only to custom tooltips. tc.Comment is a good example. Using this field the tooltip is cut. When using the option "Comments from descript.ion/files.bbs files the comment is displayed in full length.!

That's an interesting discovery, I will try to find the reason.
