Summary Label counts are truncated followed by "..." in Gmail

I Steps: Login to http://www.gmail.com II Issue: The label counts in GMail get trimmed if the label + count is long enough (for example, 15 chars in !!NextRead!! (15...). The actual value should have been !!NextRead!!(15XX) Example: some-label(XXXXX) Chrome/Safari some-label(X.... IE7 some-label(XX.. FF3 some-label(XXXX So if the count is higher than XXXX i.e. XXXXX and above even FF3 truncates. So the bug is Chrome displays only X out of XXXXX while FF3 displays XXXX III Conclusion: In the styles, the <div> that contains the text has text-overflow set to "ellipsis" so anytime there is an overflow, the "...." are shown instead of the truncated text. FF3 doesn't use ellipsis however. It just truncates the text. IV Other Browsers: IE7: not ok FF3: ok V Nightly tested: 37604

What is the test case supposed to demonstrate? How is Firefox not supporting "text-overflow: ellipsis" a WebKit issue?

some-label(XXXXX) Chrome/Safari some-label(X.... IE7 some-label(XX.. FF3 some-label(XXXX Anytime there is an overflow, the "...." are shown instead of the truncated text. Attached reduced testcase reproduces the above mentioned issue (Compare FF3 and webkit r37904)

(In reply to comment #4) > some-label(XXXXX) > > Chrome/Safari some-label(X.... > IE7 some-label(XX.. > FF3 some-label(XXXX > > Anytime there is an overflow, the "...." are shown instead of the truncated > text. Attached reduced testcase reproduces the above mentioned issue (Compare > FF3 and webkit r37904) That is precisely what "text-overflow: ellipsis" is supposed to do! If the text would overflow the box, the overflow is indicate with ellipsis rather than simply truncating the text. Firefox doesn't support the "ellipsis" text-overflow value, so it does not do this.
