Description Jeremy Moskovich 2009-02-01 18:30:30 PST
Steps to reproduce:
* Open the attached testcase.
* Slowly move the mouse from the right border of the div towards the underlined link text.

Expected result:
* Nothing to the right of the start of the left edge of the ellipsis should be clickable.

Actual result:
* There is an area 3 or 4 pixels wide between the right side of the ellipsis and the rightmost border of the div that can be clicked on as it it where part of the link.

As described in 63781, the ellipsis shouldn't affect hit-testing.
So in fact, the bug is that the ellipsis is not clickable rather than
the presence of a clickable region to the right.

"Ellipsing only affects rendering and must not affect layout nor
dispatching of pointer events."
