Affected versions

  • 75.0a1 (2020-03-05), 74.0

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10, Ubuntu 19.04;

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Firefox, enable DevTools, select the Console tab;
  2. Hover over each of the elements listed in the dropdown;

Expected result

  • tooltip with description is displayed properly;

Actual result

  • there is spacing(with no justification) for the Show Timestamps;

Regression range

  • checking with these specific steps - not a regression;

Additional notes

  • attached screenshot/recording with the issue;
  • on our macOS devices, the empty space is not as big.

The tooltip is a simple title attribute on a <button> element. Let's see if people from graphic could help with that

This is another XUL tooltip item. Brendan has confessed to working on this recently.

Sorry - not XUL.

It seems the devtool tooltip is an offset of the anchor[1]. When user hovers the anchor to the bottom of the element in the dropdown, the anchor's offset feels like space of the element. Redirect to devtool team to determine.
