Orion is replacing text strings with '...' on some websites

Llaiz · Nov 27, 2022

Steps to reproduce:

Use Kagi/Google to search for something or browse YouTube comments
Some search results and YT usernames are shortened and have ... added at the end (see pictures)
This issue only exists on desktop Orion

Expected behavior:
Orion should show these in full as is the case with Safari and other browsers.

Llaiz · Nov 27, 2022

Vlad Confirmed. This issue is fixed on Safari TP Release 158 (Safari 16.4, WebKit 18615.1.12.110.1).

Steps to reproduce:

Go on any Gitlab Page, like: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/383818#note_1192932055
On the right side you can see that button on the top ("add todo") and labels have a weird ellipsis. This is happening since the last update and was not present before.
Also the discussion on that page exactly describes the issue.
The issue is not visible on Safari or Chrome.

I did try compatibility mode but it did not solve the issue. Safari does not behave the same way.

Expected behavior:
No ellipsis happening, like in Safari.

Look at the names of the repos, Orion has an ellipsis, Safari does not.

Here's another from Basecamp, the boosts are wrapping in Orion and not on Safari

rightsaidfred · Dec 2, 2022

Steps to reproduce:
I often see text on buttons don't render full words.
In Safari a buton will read "Update" but on Orion It will be "Upd...) ie it always cuts off the text and always adds on three dots.

This is most noticeable in Synology's Web UI DSM. But have seen it on other sites

Expected behavior:
Buttons and small text should render like Safari

Looks like my issue is related to this https://orionfeedback.org/d/3812-random-text-wrappingellipsifying-compared-to-safari

Ttrevorbollinger · Dec 4, 2022

Steps to reproduce:
On a local home assistant web server, text fields are trailing off early. So far, I've only seen this happen on Home Assistant's Web interface, but this issue is not present on any other browsers. Compatability mode had no effect.

Expected behavior:
Display full text string in text fields that are long enough

Thanks, wasnt able to find anything with the keywords I used.

WWiktor · Dec 26, 2022

Steps to reproduce:
Go to https://justpy.io
Look at the left navigation bar, the names are ending with "..." even though it's not necessary.

Expected behavior:
Go to https://justpy.io using Safari
Look at the left navigation bar

Simplified example:
index.html:

<html lang="en">
  <body>
    <div>
      <span>Test </span>
    </div>

    <style>
      span {
        overflow: hidden;
        text-overflow: ellipsis;
        white-space: nowrap;
      }

      div {
        display: flex;
      }
    </style>
  </body>
</html>

Open index.html in Orion
Remove the space after "Test" in index.html
Refresh the page in Orion

The newest Orion RC Version 0.99.122.3-rc (WebKit 615.1.14.3) includes a new version of WebKit. This fixes the issues people have reported above. However, it also introduces a very similar issue for other text strings. Below are some examples (RC on the left, Safari 16.2 with WebKit 614.3.7.1.5 on the right). Safari TP has the same version of WebKit as the newest RC and, unsurprisingly, shares the problem with RC.

In other words, this once again requires a new version WebKit where the bug is fixed.

Steps to reproduce:
This may or may not be a bug. But I am not sure as to what creates such a UI behaviour --

Labels and Tags in Gitlab are cropped using Orion -- while they are displayed fully in other browsers, such as Firefox. This behaviour does not change with a zoom out/zoom-in, nor changing any other setting I can think of within Orion.

Expected behavior:
I expect the tags not to be cropped.
