A tab title including the "
Bugzilla ate my bug description because it included an emoji. Filing a new bug for that. Here's what was missing: A tab title including the (U+1F6A7, CONSTRUCTION SIGN) emoji was improperly truncated. In the attached screenshot, the title "SI-1017: [emoji] WIP_alti" was truncated to "SI-1017 [D83D]", where 0xD83D is the first byte of the UTF-16 representation of that emoji: 0xD83DDEA7. I would expect either the entire emoji, or none of the emoji, rather than half of the emoji's bytes.

What version of Firefox is this? I think this is a dupe - bug 404856 (see bug 1280268) - but we also stopped using ellipsis/crop in Firefox for tab titles, over in bug 658467.

(In reply to Dan Callahan [:callahad] from comment #3) > According to the user, this is Firefox 51.0.1 on current macOS OK. Then this is basically a dupe of bug 404856, but it will become better in 53 (first betas going out this week).
