Joomla contact form: How to fix/edit bugged tooltip?

For the Joomla contact form (using Joomla 3.3.3), you have your required fields and a tooltip that shows if you mouse over the field name. Fx. the field "Name" the tooltip I suppose would show "Your name"

But instead it shows this: "< strong >Name< /strong >< br/ >Your name"?

How to remove the "< strong >Name< /strong > "?

Have tried looking around a bit but haven't really found a solution to this yet. Only how to remove/hide the tooltips, but not how to fix it removing those code strings.

Screenshot of my contact form:

Okay figured that the problem is coming from my template. Tried switching over to the joomla protostart template and test it there, and the tooltip work fine.

So now I need to figure out why it isn't working on the template I'm currently using.

In the example, are you using custom language files or form XML definition file? - Brian Bolli
No, in the example I am using the en-GB language pack that comes with Joomla. - Marius
Can you post the code where you actually render the page? - Brian Bolli

It was a jquery conflict with joomla updates.

Fixed it by editing the var.php in my template with the following changes:

From, (line 7):

JHTML::_('behavior.framework', true);
// disabled sins joomla 3
//JHTML::_( 'behavior.mootools' );

To:

JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');               // JOOMLA 3.X    (LOADS BOOTSTRAP)
JHtml::_('behavior.framework', true);

$doc->addScript($this->baseurl . '/templates/' . $this->template . '/js/jquery_no_conflict.js', 'text/javascript'); 
// disabled sins joomla 3
//JHTML::_( 'behavior.mootools' );

And removed this on line 28.

// Add JavaScript Frameworks
JHtml::_('bootstrap.framework');
