I cannot reproduce this.  In any case the calculations for the x- and
y-position of the tooltip take into account the size of the tooltip and
the width and height of the display as can be easily seen from the code
of compute_tip_xy.  If you see any truncation of a tooltip at a certain
position, please step with GDB through the respective part of the code
to find out what happened.

So does the Lucid port.  Something else must be at work here.
