kojiishi has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-ui] text-overflow: ellipsis when a word of different direction was truncated ==
When the overflowing word is in different direction from the paragraph direction, which part of the word should be truncated?

For example, if a paragraph in the logical order (uppercase means RTL characters):

> abcdef ABCDEF

which is laid out this way:

> abcdef FEDCBA

and if the last 3 characters overflows, should "FED" be visible, or "CBA"?

[Test@jsbin](http://jsbin.com/vifuvap/edit?html,output)

Blink/Gecko shows "FED..." while Edge/WebKit shows "CBA...". Blink w/LayoutNG currently matches to Edge/WebKit.
