           Summary: [text-overflow: ellipsis] WebKit should ignore the
                    ellipsis for the purpose of dispatching mouse events
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
               URL: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-ui/#text-overflow
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: phiw at l-c-n.com


The editor draft recently changed and clarified what should happen when the pointer is over the ellipsis.

[quote]
Ellipsing only affects rendering and must not affect layout nor dispatching of pointer events.

In the testcase: mousing over the ellipsis (covering the link) should show the :hover color/background, clicking on it should follow the link (as it is 'part of the link').

This is what recent Firefox nightly builds and Opera 11.10+  do.
