This one has me puzzled.

A Hero uses Lurk, an altered Wind Walk. It does the same, only with more levels.
Now, this is the buff, which I also altered to match the ability. I didn't really alter much.

The original description for Wind Walk compared to the new:
"This unit is Wind Walking; it is invisible, moves faster, and the first attack it makes while invisible will deal bonus damage."
"This unit is Lurking; it is invisible, moves faster, and the first attack it makes while invisible will deal bonus damage."

Almost the same text-wise, right? There shouldn't be much trouble there. However, this is what I get in-game, when I mouse over the status icon:

Why exactly does the description get cut off like that?

Any suggestions?

Commas. The buff tooltip does not like commas for some reason, I think you can find some other similar character to mimic it though (semicolon for example).

Why the commas work in the original tooltips is beyond me.
