After <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/138196> I'm seeing unnecessarily ellipsized text on a number of different websites. For instance, on <https://github.com/scalatra/scalatra/> the folder listing includes many ellipsized items. In particular, the first item "akka" is displayed as "ak…" even though the following item is substantially longer and is not itself truncated.

This is also visible on Facebook in the news feed sorting widget. "Most recent" is truncated to "Must rece…", even though there's clearly room for the "nt" to be displayed.
