@frivoal A case could be made that the non-bidi case (that is, the unidirectional case) isn't necessarily truncating "visually", it just looks that way :-). Consider a purely right-to-left text: it should truncate on the left side rather than the right side. @kojiishi calls out that vertical presentation is *also* affected here and needs an answer about visual vs. logical truncation. I think that shouldn't be overlooked. If the control is a "viewport" on an infinite baseline of text, that suggests a visual presentation (visual is certainly easier in that case; particularly I'm thinking about scrolling behavior, although cursor movement might be an adventure if the cursor is placed in bidi text---the cursor normally moves logically in text) @matial I actually treated mentally each RTL word as isolated (as we recommend for insertion), as they are inserted into an LTR context, so logical: > the world is full of SARBEZ, HPELE ... And visual: > the world is full of SARBEZ, STNAH ... -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2125#issuecomment-355423470 using your GitHub account
