Description

Problem

Setting width property of label does nothing, and ellipsize stopped working because of it. This works with Ti SDk 3.1.0.v20130304xxxx

Test case

var win  = Ti.UI.createWindow();


win.add(Ti.UI.createLabel({
	text: 'this is some text that should ellipsize because it is too long',
	width: 100,
	height: 25,
	color: 'white',
	ellipsize: true,
	wordWrap: false,
	backgroundColor: 'pink'
}));


win.open();

Works correctly when label is created before being added to window, which it should be. Tested with code below and ellipsize works fine

   var win  = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor: 'black'
   });
    
   var label1 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
       text: 'this is some text that should ellipsize because it is too long',
       width: 100,
       height: 25,
       color: 'white',
       ellipsize: true,
       wordWrap: false,
       backgroundColor: 'pink'
   });
   
    win.add(label1)
    
   win.open();

I thought maybe I'll bring this up again since 3.1.0 is about to be released. It's still broken with the latest CI build (3.2.0 and 3.1.0) on Apr 11. It's going to break any app that uses ellipsis on android.

Tested with: SDK: 3.1.0.v20130414163049 Titanium Studio:3.1.0.201304141748 Device: Samgung galaxy note(2.3.6) OS: OSX 10.7.5 Ellipsis works fine on above env.

The fix above does not fully fix the bug. It works when .width is specified. It fails to work when width is specified indirectly via .left and .right instead. As a work-around, one may specify .width (e.g., as Ti.UI.FILL) AND .left and .right to be specific values. I would advise reopening this ticket.
