I'm using line tightening in some of my dialogs and 99% of the time it
works great, but there are a few aspects of it that don't work for my
app. In particular, when line tightening kicks in, first it attempts to
shrink the text to fit the box, which is awesome. But when it still
doesn't fit even when shrunk, it disables tightening and appends an
ellipsis, and this ellipsis is problematic for me.
I'd like to change it so that when the text doesn't fit, it just
tightens it to the maximum tightness allowed and displays as much text
as possible. Or at the very least, I'd like to disable the ellipsis.
I have a text field which in some circumstances can tighten, and that's
by design. In very extreme circumstances it will still be too much text.
(Before you say "increase the tightening threshold," well, that just
makes the circumstances at which it will fail even more extreme.) This
is not a big problem, but I don't want to see the ellipsis, since it
ends up truncating even more text, meaning that instead of only losing
one or two characters at the end of my string, I lose five or six… which
suddenly turns a tiny problem into a big one.
