Since the contents of the tooltip is obfuscated, I can't tell how you were able to make the tooltip expand to that point. Could you give some more details? If this is a bug, you will want to open an issue [here](http://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/new) and provide more details.

There are 3 records in this tooltip. One of our fields has a sentence written in it which we want to display in multiple lines.  
So we want to add a new line inside this sentence so that tooltip does not expand horizontally.
