Not a bug Tooltip differs from thread title

[James]

This thread has multiple spacing in its title and it is stripped in the actual thread title, but when you hover over it on forumhome the spacing is noticeable (see attachment).

Not much you can do about this unless you want to go about stripping excessive whitespace from thread titles, which is probably not a good idea.

Yeah, technically not a bug. If you look at the HTML for the thread, the whitespace is actually there in the source. It's just that your browser is stripping the extra spaces because it isn't supposed to display more than 1 consecutive space. Tooltips do not obey this rule, hence the discrepancy. This is really the browser's fault more than anything else.

It could be fixed by stripping whitespace from thread titles, but that's not ideal.

As stated, this is basically just how HTML works.
