Limit tooltip width for improved readability
Tooltip content now has a maximum width set to accommodate an optimal character count per line, enhancing readability and interface cleanliness. This limit is grounded in typographic research suggesting that 50-75 characters per line is ideal for text readability, with tooltips being targeted to the lower end of this spectrum to maintain brevity and clarity.
