> For center-cropping, something has to be moved
To my understanding it doesn't have to be moved. It would work exactly as cropping at the end or the beginning.
Example (from bug: 741743):
this_is_a_very_long_filename.txt
this_is_a_very_long_filename2.jpg
With the ellipsis at the end this would be something like:
this_is_a_very_lo…
this_is_a_very_lo…
If the truncation could be specified to happen in the middle of the word, this would look like:
this_is_a…name.txt
this_is_a…ame2.jpg
No layout changes, no pointer events issues.
