TextWrapped + TextTruncate not showing ellipsis as expected

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

When TextWrapped is true, the actual behavior is sometimes bugged, and sometimes correct. It depends on the size of the text object and length of the text. Sometimes the 3 dots don’t show up. See gif: https://gyazo.com/e6a5eadb7334f22143cd6f8dffaa1fa8

This bug prevents textabels from being used in a chat GUI for example. Instead, you’ll need to use scripting to always ensure the ellipsis is shown.

It may help to know that when TextWrapped is false, this bug does not occur.

Hi @mrfergie thanks for the bug report!

By any chance do you still have the repro file from the screenshot available? If so, could you please share it?

Thanks!

I just recreated this with a textlabel with the above shown properties. I verified that the bug still exists.
