title: Truncate text when it reaches next control
body: <p>Consider the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
    @override
    Widget build(BuildContext context) {
      return new Column(
        children: &lt;Widget&gt;[
          new FlatButton(
            child: new Container(
              child: new Center(child: new Text("ABOVE")),
              height: 300.0,
              color: const Color.fromARGB(255, 255, 0, 0),
            ),
          ),
          new Expanded(
              child: new Text("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

          ),
          new FlatButton(
            child: new Container(
              child: new Center(child: new Text("BELOW")),
              height: 300.0,
              color: const Color.fromARGB(255, 255, 0, 0),
            ),
          ),
        ],
      );
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On my Pixel, this produces:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aPFmXl.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/aPFmXl.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>My expectation was that the text would continue up until it reaches the bottom button, then clip. If I set <code>overflow: TextOverflow.ellipsis</code> then it truncates after the first line:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Nmp4l.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6Nmp4l.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>If I set <code>maxLines: 3</code> then it continues until the fourth line:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DCy91l.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/DCy91l.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>However, I can't find a way to just continue until it reaches the bottom button.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone enlighten me?</p>
