Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create an event with the text "a long event title that will have an ellipsis"
- View it in the calendar grid
- Hover the mouse on top of it and wait
Expected result
A tooltip appears with the full name (and maybe more details also)
Actual result
Nothing happens.
I have to edit the event (and be afraid of making changes by mistakes which I don't want to do for shares entries) to see its description.
This is inconvenient when many entries have an ellipsis.
Version
2.1.2 from git master 03995a19e573acf9a3329cd0a4af52357f6e118e
I had a very quick look at the code (which I'm not familiar with) and it looks like the calendar itself is from another library, so many this needs to be reported/fixed upstream...

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the calendar grid using a deliberately long event title and hover over the ellipsized entry. Trace the grid implementation and verify whether it comes from an external library, then determine where tooltip behavior belongs. Done means hovering shows the event’s full name without requiring editing.
