Hi David,

thanks (we’ll see :-).

Perhaps I should clarify what I mean by less jada jada and more illustrations:

####Freeway

As seen, the content forces the box to 50+%:

This is just because Freeway calculates boxes by its content.

####The Browser

Adjusting the value (from 54,63%) back to 50% in Browser shows, that the content has enough space available:

This is just because the browser calculates boxes by its dimension.

I know how to adjust in Freeway - but it simply sucks to live with the constraints of two different sizing-models.

So I once again call for a workspace “border-box” or an alternative such as forced Hyphenate or even much, much better:

Truncate with Ellipsis

as kind of alternative behavior in Freeway’s workspace - and I’m talking exclusively about FREWAYs behavior.

Hope it does make sense.

Cheers

Thomas
