I don't see the problem.  If the default causes only partial display
(which would really need a HUGE tooltip), then whoever does that
without adjusting x-max-tooltip-size has only him/herself to blame,
and I see no problem.

We were talking about the conditions for an assertion.  Assertions are
for developers, they are compiled to nothing in a production build, so
such bad code in a production build will show a partial text.  While
in a development build, we will in such a case see an assertion, which
will tell us some code needs to be fixed.  Where's the problem?
