Tooltips etc are Window Manager and Qt5 Style dependent (AND dependent on your font size).

With me her on a Win10 machine I can happily see 5 lines of wrapping tooltips.

You can try to play around a little with Options/General/Application UI Theme and Font.

But in 2.18 I also had some tooltip issues with certain Window Managers/Themes.
