I think that would be a question for that module.

A hovertip is not its own frame, so no scrollbars. You should be able to tweak it's width with CSS. Is the width the problem?

The problem is that the text in hovertip might be muche longer than the allowed size, even if the hovertip reaches the full screen.
I would expect a "Read more..." link within the hovertip to reach the full description in a frame.

I'm not sure how glossary generates the hovertip markup. Sounds like you want a change to that code.

Nancy, what do you think?

Well, I guess I'll have to see if this has changed since I originally implemented it according to the Hovertips documentation.

But, I must say this: the intent of Glossary is to have a small-ish definition shown. If your hovertip is that big, you might want to re-examine using Glossary for this.

I think the use case makes sense:
- the hovertip gives "tips" about the glossary item, that's really OK.
- However, it would be great to have a handy mean to reach the full description from here, being either the term description or an associated node i.e. "taxonomy node".

This would look like a feature request by now.
