The CSS Working Group just discussed `Position of the text-overflow ellipsis`, and agreed to the following: * `RESOLVED: Allow (but don't require) repositioning or fading` <details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary> <matthieud> florian: there are differencies between browsers for text-overflow ellipsis<br> <matthieud> florian: spec says that you should remove enough text to place the ellipsis and that position is immediatly next to the remaining text<br> <matthieud> florian: firefox is inconsistent, sometimes it does something different but useful<br> <matthieud> florian: it places the ellipsis at the very end of the line box<br> <matthieud> florian: it's nice because if you scroll, you reveral some of the elided away text<br> <matthieud> florian: it avoid the ellipsis to jump back and forth during scrolling<br> <ChrisL> That does seem to be a better behavior, avoiding jitter<br> <matthieud> florian: but the spec says something else<br> <matthieud> florian: another behavior would be while you scroll you hide the ellipsis, compute and re-show the ellipsis to avoid jitter<br> <ChrisL> q+ to say we should not insist on jitter<br> <matthieud> florian: if we want ellipsis to be always visible, firefox behavior is nice<br> <iank_> q+<br> <Rossen4> ack ChrisL<br> <Zakim> ChrisL, you wanted to say we should not insist on jitter<br> <matthieud> ChrisL: the jitter in current implementation is not good<br> <miriam> q+<br> <matthieud> florian: in theory the spec says that all implementaiton should reveal text when you scroll, but only firefox does it<br> <matthieud> florian: but other browser don't so no jitter because they dont reveal text<br> <ChrisL> but they would<br> <Rossen4> ack iank_<br> <matthieud> iank_: jitter doesnt happen currently<br> <florian> q+<br> <matthieud> miriam: i like the behavior to allow scrolling<br> <matthieud> miriam: but what is the point of repositionning the ellipsis at the end ?<br> <matthieud> miriam: so it looks like current spec is good<br> <Rossen4> ack miriam<br> <Rossen4> ack florian<br> <matthieud> florian: if you scroll using the scrollbar or touchpad, the ellipsis disappear<br> <matthieud> florian: however by selecting the text not visible or scroll by script, the ellipsis remain visible<br> <matthieud> florian: maybe it should disappear all the time (but how does it would work with script?)<br> <matthieud> florian: for ian point, should we disallow reveal as you scroll ?<br> <matthieud> florian: current discussion might be moot for Chrome<br> <matthieud> iank_: I agree with miriam that if you are going to hide ellipsis while scrolling, the jittering point disappear as well<br> <fantasai> Options: A) Allow repositioning. B) Allow fading. C) Allow repositioning or fading.<br> <matthieud> florian: 2 options here : either allow the repositioning of the ellipsis like firefox is doing, or keep the spec as is which requires the ellipsis right next to the text and we should probably in/out to avoid jitter<br> <fantasai> D) Allow neither<br> <matthieud> fantasai: choices would be repositioning or fading or both or neither<br> <fantasai> RESOLVED: Allow (but don't require) repositioning or fading<br> </details> -- GitHub Notification of comment by css-meeting-bot Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10418#issuecomment-2274537041 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
