Subject: tooltip-show breaks with multiline tip on Emacs for Windows v22.2.1
Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:10:20 -0400

Emacs doesn't properly display long text tooltips, or multi-line tooltips, 
on Windows.

You can see a picture of the problem here:

And you can demonstrate it for yourself by doing

(tooltip-show  "very very long string message........" )

You'll see that the last line in the displayed tooltip is clipped.

It seems that the size of the tooltip is not correctly calculated.

Appending a newline '\n' to the string to be displayed, allows the tooltip 
to be seen in its entirety, although with more "border" than is necessary on 
the bottom of the text.
