> In that respect, it's very much like the ellipsis; neither of them are "present" in the text. My point is that the hyphen is present as a direct result of, and integral to, text layout. The presence/location of the hyphen won't change for anything short of a text re-layout; as such, it has as much "solidity" on the page as literal text does. The ellipsis is, in some situations, opposed to that, where it can change its presence/location on things that *don't* otherwise cause text layout, such as scrolling. > Its important to realize here also that the "overflow: scroll" case isn't how "text-overflow: ellipsis" is being used by authors. The primary case is the "overflow: hidden" case. Tongue-in-cheek counterpoint: marquee usage, for ellipsizing long song titles as they scroll back and forth automatically. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6531#issuecomment-1078432966 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
