Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #3 – September 08, 2014, 12:26:01 pm arg... I cannot test it because Chrome doesn't want to work in the emulator...
Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #4 – September 08, 2014, 01:40:03 pm OT: Android phone + USB cable + Chrome for Windows and you don't need emulator https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #8 – June 24, 2017, 04:23:27 pm That is technically still a bug.The problem is that links are cut to avoid them overflowing.The overflow happens because of the white-space: nowrap;.Why do we need the white-space: nowrap?If we can get rid of it, we would be able to remove the overflow:hidden as well and have the links span on multiple lines.
Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #9 – June 25, 2017, 12:33:01 pm I imagine it was added because in some edge cases you might get stuff likeCode: [Select]Lalala some text [twowords]Which would make for an easier to hit target if they weren't split up. However, I don't think that's worth making long links more worthless.PS I don't think this happens quite the way it's shown in the OP? It looks to me like links just won't exceed one line, but they'll gladly take up the whole line.

Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #11 – June 26, 2017, 09:03:11 am Right, and I definitely consider that undesirable, but putting some words in front of it doesn't seem to make it do that particular extra-bad thing. "In fact, it may very well shorten the text inside an a tag quite a bit, of course you need to to have quite a bunch of text to have a taste of it without shrinking way too much the window."What I see is:Code: [Select]"In fact, blabla…"Not:Code: [Select]thing. "In fact…"like on the screenshot in the OP.
Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #12 – June 26, 2017, 12:54:52 pm You mean In fact, it may very well shorten the text inside an a tag quite a bit, of course you need to to have quite a bunch of text to have a taste of it without shrinking way too much the window. this should stay on the same line?
Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #13 – June 27, 2017, 06:16:32 am Well yeah. Like what it does if you get rid of all the weird non-standard styling.
Re: Weirdly truncated text on Android Reply #14 – June 29, 2017, 10:32:01 am So we want to drop all of the a.bbc_link mumbo jumbo and have a simple word-wrap: break-word;
