Resolves #4622
With
overflow: clip
becoming more widely supported by browsers, we are running into a naming collision with the existingoverflow-clip
utility, which setstext-overflow: clip
.This PR renames the existing
text-overflow
utilities as following:overflow-ellipsis
text-ellipsis
overflow-clip
text-clip
We considered using
ellipsis
andclip
for these utilities, but using the prefix makes these utilities more resilient to new values being supported in the future. For example, Firefox already supports values liketext-overflow: "-"
.Renaming
overflow-clip
totext-clip
is a breaking change, but I expect the impact will be very low, sincetext-overflow: clip
is the browser default, and there are very few reasons to actually use that class.We are not removing the existing
overflow-ellipsis
utility because that would be an unnecessary breaking change, but it is now considered deprecated, and will no longer be documented.With the
overflow-clip
class now available, we've also added the newoverflow: clip
utilities:overflow-clip
overflow: clip
overflow-x-clip
overflow-x: clip
overflow-y-clip
overflow-y: clip
