The bug
While hover texts created using hoverEvent
by /tellraw
in chat or in written books are wrapped if necessary (unlike villager restock hover text (MC-75699) or item tooltips (MC-26757)), they are sometimes wrapped too late making the hover text box too large and resulting in it being cut off.
See
[media].
Reproduction steps
Use the following command
/tellraw @s {"text":"hover hover hover hover hover hover hover hover","hoverEvent":{"action":"show_text","contents":{"text":"mm mm mmm mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm"}}}
Hover near the middle of the screen over the text
Move your mouse slowly towards on of the horizontal edges of the screen
❌ The hover text is cut off
Note: You might have to adjust the GUI scale or change the window width to reproduce this issue.

@@unknown, would you like to become the reporter, so that you can update the affected versions yourself? However, you can at any point inform us if you don't want to be the reporter anymore (or just stop updating the report).
Can confirm in 20w51a.
