Description
dijit tool tips look different in IE9. IE seems to wrap the title to new line when it is unexpected.
Following link shows the problem
Notice that chrome and IE do not behave in the same way. The Tooltip's domGeometry.getContentBox(this.domNode) does not return the size consistently across the browsers.

avoid IE bug by not setting width unless absolutely necessary; but this breaks tooltip placement when viewport scrolled to the right

Backport to 1.7, but regresses test_Tooltip.

I tried to backport this change to 1.6/1.7 but am encountering difficulties. The attached patch fixes the attached tooltip.html test case. However, in our dijit test_Tooltip, if you move your mouse over the tooltip on the far right, it takes up even more lines instead of less (it should take 2, takes 3 right now, takes like 5 with the patch).
I noticed a lot of the sizing logic had changed since 1.7 to the extent that the context lines in the diff didn't match; I was wondering if there are any additional changes required for this to work.

Hmm, yeah I'm not sure. There was a bunch of code that went in at some point to position the arrow connector directly to where the anchor node is. Theoretically unrelated.
This isn't a critical bug to backport since it's just a rendering glitch, although customers may still scream about it.

This is caused by an IE9 bug which I filed at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_7/setting-divwidth-to-offsetwidth-causes-word-wrap/e3024e81-21ce-43b5-b08a-0cc0358654d6, although it's doubtful I'll get a useful response.
One solution is to not set the Tooltip's width except when necessary to keep it from overflowing the screen. However, that causes other problems when the viewport has a horizontal scrollbar, and it's scrolled to the right, and the tooltip is over a node on the right: both IE and FF will truncate the width of the node as though the viewport were scrolled all the way to the left. (This is tested in Tooltip-placement.html, although it's debatable whether we need to support that case.)
