1146701 - When hovering an article title in Reading List, the end of the title disappears

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1146463

(Firefox Graveyard :: Reading List, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 0. (I'm using Linux; this may behave slightly differently on other platforms due to different fonts etc.)

 1. Visit https://community.rapid7.com/community/metasploit/blog/2015/03/23/r7-2015-04-disclosure-mozilla-firefox-proxy-prototype-rce-cve-2014-8636

 2. Click the "+" button at right end of URL bar to add it to your reading list.

 3. Now hover the article-title in your reading list.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * Before I hover, the 2nd line of the article title is "Disclosure: Mozilla Fire..."
 * After I hover, the end of the 2nd line disappears, so it just says "Disclosure: Mozilla", with no ellipsis.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Consistently-displayed amount of title, regardless of whether I'm hovering

(Actually the ellipsis here is *part of the actual title*. So the bug here is just that we're clipping the title-text at a different point, when you hover vs. when you don't hover.)

The ellipsis issue should be fixed once Bug 1143689 lands. As for the other effect you noticed, I think that's being treated in Bug 1146463.

Yes, this is a dupe of 1146463.

I was deeply confused how you were getting an ellipsis at all until I saw your comment about it being the page's title. >_<
