Bug 12991 – text-overflow should not require white-space:nowrap to work

• Status: NEW
• Component: CSS

[Adele Peterson]

text-overflow should not require white-space:nowrap or white-space:pre to work.

We'd like this to work in a multiline case.  In this example, we should be able to wrap, and also add ellipsis instead of partially displaying the last line.

<style>
div {
	width: 100px;
	height: 40px;
	text-overflow: ellipsis;
	overflow: hidden;
	border: solid thin black;
}
</style>
<div>test 12345678910 1112131415</div>

Test case

[Ahmad Saleem]

I am am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 16.1 and STP159 and last line just show top edges of the digits while other browsers (Chrome Canary 110 and Firefox Nightly 109) does not show any partial top edges of digits.

Just wanted to share updated testing results. Thanks!
