I have an issue with `Text` that I think might be a bug in the framework. Basically, when I put a `height(x.dp)` modifier on a `Text`, but the text is too long, the last line appears outside the bounds of `Text`. More in thread.

I created a new project to test this. In the `Activity`, the UI looks like this:
```Column(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxSize()
) {
    Text(
        text = "Super long lorem ipsum",
        fontSize = 24.sp,
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
            .height(96.dp)
            .background(Color.Red),
        overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis,
    )
    Text(
        text = "Some other text",
        modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
        overflow = TextOverflow.Ellipsis,
    )
}```

I don't understand why both text are overlapping...

I would think the text would have cut to 'sagittis', followed by the ellipsis, but now there isn't even the ellipsis...

I know that when working with a Canvas, you can draw outside the bounds by default. You have to add clipToBounds to make it clip. Maybe they didn’t have that in the Text composable before 1.2.0-beta03?

It does the same thing as `TextOverflow.Clip`: there is still the 4th line but it's clipped at the bottom of the composable in red...

The fact that your pics have such a mildly different version of green and both names start with an L made me think you were talking to yourself :sweat_smile:

It is a bit weird when I'm glancing through messages and I see a similar green color

Yeah, this is un-expected behavior, not sure if it was deliberately meant to behave as such for some reasons that I may have overlooked.

`Text` with fixed height, long text and overflow mode set to `Ellipsis` behaves as if the overflow mode is set to `Visible` and ignores `Ellipsis`. 
Workaround for me was to use `maxLines` with `Ellipsis`. That got me the result I was expecting with ellipsis.

The newest version should have ellipsize by height (which is the expectation here). If a max height is set, and ellipsize is set, it should ellipsize.
