Recently updated my Google Chrome to version 32.0.1700.76 m and it looks like tooltips have stopped appearing over html elements with the 'title' attribute set.
<span alt="Testing" title="Testing">hhh</span>
Here is an example jsFiddle:

I thought it was an HTML standard, it is still working in Firefox, anyone else experiencing the issue?

The title attribute is a not a tooltip. It is "advisory information about the element" that particular user agents may choose to render as a tooltip. The title attribute is a mechanism to attach a text description directly onto an element; the particular UI implications of this information are implementation-dependent.
HTML 4 supports a "title" attribute that can be inserted inside any HTML tag. Inserting this attribute effectively gives the element a tooltip that pops up when the mouse moves over it. It just seems like a bad word choice.. or am I missing something?
1. HTML title attribute specifies the advisory information about an HTML element. 2. When used, text written as a value of title attribute is shown as a tooltip, in most but not in all, browsers. Syntax. <ElementName title="text......" >text content</ElementName>. Where ElementName is any supported HTML element.
In the beginning, the purpose of HTML was to provide a markup language that could be used for books and documents--not our modern understanding of web pages. The purpose of the TITLE tag was to declare the title of the document that you were viewing.
Version 32.0.1700.76 m works fine for me. Have you tried just clearing your Chrome browser cache to make sure it's not a caching issue?
