   Summary

   This PR increases the tooltip wrap threshold from 80 to 100 characters to improve user experience.

   Changes

   • Modified TOOLTIP_WRAP_THRESHOLD constant in src/qt/guiconstants.h
   • Changed value from 80 to 100 characters

   Rationale

   The previous threshold of 80 characters was too restrictive for modern displays and longer descriptive tooltips. This change allows more content to be displayed before tooltips are converted to rich text format.

   Testing

   • No linter errors introduced
   • Change is minimal and low-risk
   • Improves UI/UX for longer tooltips

   Type of Change

   • UI/UX improvement
   • Low-risk change
   • No breaking changes

   This code was introduced in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1090. During that discussion, there was a concern that “tooltip windows [were] too wide sometimes”.

   This isn’t about fitting on the screen, but about improving readability.

   I think some examples would be helpful to evaluate this change. Could you possibly share before and after screenshots?
