How to set Tooltip text area width?

I have a Tooltip wrapping an Icon. The text of the Tooltip is fairly long. With the configuration defaults, the displayed tooltip becomes quite tall and narrow. There is a configuration option “Width” that can be used to make the tooltip text area wider, but it also makes the tooltip “envelope” larger, so that hovering way outside of the Icon also displays the tooltip.

So how to set the width of the displayed tooltip without changing the envelope?

The icon is a question mark next to a question in a form. The tooltip is an explanation of the text. If you can think of any better way to have a help text then let me know.

Hi Jan,

Can you provide me with a screenshot of your layout?

Hi Jan,

The width configuration for the Tooltip control adjusts the width for the div element containing the inner control.  Changing this setting will adjust the width of the hover area and as well as the help text that is output.

This would be something that we would normally customize on a project for a client.  However, I will submit the concept of a separate hover area configuration option to the Development Team as a Feature Request to be considered for a future release.
