8.0.14 The clip and ellipsis properties does not work on Labels. The shadow option does not work at all. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/b/0b2995c8a7797ef804136c6a46dca619bf7717ba.png) ---

Thanks, @jpark. We’ve opened an internal ticket to fix this. ---

No progress. The priority was set to be pretty low as it’s been broken since _at least_ 8.0.12 without anyone noticing. This thread will be updated when a fix has been introduced. ---

No ETA because the ticket hasn’t even been touched since I made a note on it in July. ---

This is also an issue on our side. We are delaying some vision to perspective conversions because of that. Please Inductive Automation fix that. All properties should behave as expected. Thanks. ---

I put textFields instead of labels and then I put these settings: enabled: false style: textAlign: left borderStyle: none backgroundColor: transparent textOverflow: ellipsis overflow: hidden ---

“The priority was set to be pretty low as it’s been broken since _at least_ 8.0.12 without anyone noticing.” → I suspect that nobody had noticed it before because, in general, we are learning CSS and we don’t know this functionality. However once you know it is essential to make a good responsive design. I need to use this very extensively and any workaround is going to be a headache in the future. ---

using theming, add this CSS [data-component=“ia.display.label”] \> span { overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; } ---

Try setting “white space” to nowrap on the label style. ---

It looks like this should also work without requiring any additional settings if you are using the 8.1.12 nightly builds. The ticket is designated as having been resolved as part of 8.1.12. ---

To get ellipsis on a Label in 8.1.12 to work use the new textStyle prop, set props.textStyle.overflow `hidden`, whiteSpace `nowrap`, textOverflow `ellipsis`
