Basically it takes the multiline tool tip and join lines to a single line until no more lines can be added without exceeding
the frame width.

The idea is that if you are sofisticated enough to disable tool tips, you either know what they say or don't care that
much.

Don't be silly. Disabling tooltip-mode implies nothing about not wanting to see
the tooltip help.

It does for me.


If the idea was that people disabling the popup window don't want to see the
help at all, then the behavior would not be to show the help in the minibuffer.

But the main thing is to avoid minibuffer expansion and shrinkage.

Why is that the main thing? Why is that even a goal?


Because Emacs didn't do that before people started adding long multiline tooltips. Because it is annoying. If you donät like it, implement something that satisfies everybody,
