844337 - text-overflow:ellipsis's "..." does not get hidden with body text

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Matt Basta [:basta]]

When an element has text-overflow set to "ellipsis" and the element is too small to contain the text (i.e.: the text-overflow is triggered), the "..." that's added does not blink when the element is within a <blink> tag.

<blink>
<div style="background:red;height:1em;width:50px;text-overflow:ellipsis;overflow:hidden">
trolololololololo
</div>
</blink>

Expected results:

  All text, including the "...", blinks

Actual results:

  The "..." does not blink with the rest of the text.

You're missing `white-space: nowrap`: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/text-overflow

`white-space: nowrap` is irrelevant to this bug.

Looks like this became invalid of bug 857820, which removed support for the <blink> tag (and the visual effect of text-decoration:blink).

--> Closing, though feel free to reopen if there's still something broken here that's still visible in up-to-date Firefox. (e.g. some other visual feature that reveals a version of the same issue)
