I am finding that tooltip text is exceeding the available width of the node.  
I have a node set to Auto - so 6 units wide and the tooltip text is flowing outside of that available width both left and right.  
That would seem to be a bug?  
Not so important on a desktop but the text is truncated when viewed on a phone.

Tool tips shouldn’t really be that long. But yes not ideal.

@dceejay.  
I agree but the fact that one can, does suggest it is a defect by allowing it to exceed the bounds. I am just reporting it.

Indeed. And thank you for that.
