Is it possible to have two lines in a tooltip?

(defining a return  
html capabilities like in text-property, would be nice!)

HTML DOES work in tooltip!

Just put “” before your text.

Try this: Here is  
multiple  
lines

NOTE: The closing HTML tag is optional - but good form.

Tooltips don’t seem to work in list view forms…

Do they never work or sometimes not (mostly for components that are in the rightside of the panel)

I tried to move the button on the left side, but it didn’t work too.  
Moving it into the header, it works: probably the problem is related with list view.
