 * Hello! I don’t know what is happening, but in some notes the text is truncated
   if it has a link. Is there a limit to the size of texts with links now?
 * You can see it in the second note of the page I need help with, but I’m having
   the same problem with other notes in localhost, so let me give an example. I 
   have this note:
 * CHAUÍ, Marilena. O inferno urbano e a política do favor, tutela e cooptação. 
   In: Revista Teoria e Debate, 27 de junho de 2013
 * and the link goes to “O inferno urbano e a política do favor, tutela e cooptação”
 * and the note shows so:
 * CHAUÍ, Marilena. O inferno urbano e a política do favor, tute… . In: Revista 
   Teoria e Debate, 27 de junho de 2013
 * Before the last updates it was not like it, I could see the full text.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi [@arutha176](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arutha176/)! This is related
   to some recent changes that would cause some links to appear outside of the footnote
   tooltip. I’ve made a GitHub issue for the permanent fix at [https://github.com/seankwilliams/modern-footnotes/issues/24](https://github.com/seankwilliams/modern-footnotes/issues/24)
   that will need to be addressed.
 * In the meantime, you can temporarily fix this by adding this custom CSS:
 *     ```
       .modern-footnotes-footnote__note a {
           display: inline;
           overflow: auto;
           white-space: unset;
       }
       ```

 * Hi!
 * It works perfectly, thank you!
    A newbie question: if you make a permanent fix
   should I delete te custom css? I imagine the answer is yes, but better be sure
   lol!
 * I just looked at the GitHub issue, and I had some thoughts, even if I never experienced
   links going out of the tooltip. I’m not a programmer, so if a write something
   foolish I hope you don’t mind:
    the way I see it, there are two different things:
   the url and the text. In the footnotes I never use a “naked” url, it is always
   inside a keyword or keywords. My idea is that maybe this is the reason I never
   experienced the “out of tooltip” problem. If so, to find a way to truncate urls
   but not keywords looks like the way to go. Does it makes sense? Another way is
   not fixing it, but warning the user to use small keywords. I did some testing,
   and when the keyword is small it doesn’t get truncated. If the long keyword is
   at the beginning or the end of the note, it only gets truncated if the keyword
   string is very long. I hope this helps some and is not a bother. Thank you again,
   you are superb!

 * [@arutha176](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arutha176/) Good question. Ideally
   you’d delete the custom CSS once the fix is out, but you can also just wait and
   delete it if it’s causing other issues (which it probably won’t).
 * And thank you for those comments! That method makes a lot of sense to me. I think
   it’s a good way to determine whether the link text should be truncated or not.
   It’s a little tricky to implement programmatically, but I’ll add the idea to 
   the GitHub issue!

 * Very goood! I’m happy I could help a little bit!
    And as far as I could ascertain
   the custom css is not causing any other issues! thank you!
