There is one another problem with this, if you copy the data, it will copy only the visible string (or so). This should copy the data from the tag itself, not from the ui. I'll try to fix this one.

The goal of tooltips is not to be huge, else GUI will be bloated.

In other word, it's normal to cut text and not to extend tooltips size.

Outside my previous patch with fix some rules about strings size, if you want to see all words, change font size in tooltips. Setting is available in Tooltips setup panel.
