MT crashes on long tooltip

[Azhrei]

How would you like this solved? If the value really is THAT big, should we truncate it at some point? Should the tooltip panel be as large as possible with scrollbars? (Can scrollbars even be interacted with in a tooltip? I doubt it, since I don't think our tooltips will accept focus.)

I think that any attempt to show it whole will cause the same crash as its simply too big. So to be save I would opt for truncating it after a certain length.
MT can handle pretty long strings, but e.g. 3000+ character makes it crash (just tried it). So 200 max?

MT is not displaying the tool tip, the JIDE framework is. I've overridden the code that determines what should be displayed for the tool tip on the Properties panel and limited the text to 100 characters plus an ellipsis. I tested it with multiple properties with lengths of at least 200 characters for the values and it looks to be working.

Awesome! Can't wait to test. Thnx
