    Description

      Setting the elide of a Text-element to Text.ElideLeft does not cause the rendered text to be ellipsized at the beginning of the string, if the text spans multiple lines. Only if the text-display is restricted to one line Text.ElideLeft works.

      So instead of showing only, say the last 10 lines (using "maximumLineCount: 10"), and cutting off the beginning using "...", the end of the text is being cut off without any indication that it has been cut off.

      Here's an example exposing the bug:

      expose-bug.qml
      import QtQuick 2.0
      
      Rectangle {
          color: "grey"
          width: 400
          height: 400
      
          Rectangle {
              width: 300
              height: 200
              color: "blue"
              anchors {
                  top: parent.top
                  topMargin: 10
                  left: parent.left
                  leftMargin: 10
              }
      
              Text {
                  anchors.fill: parent
      	    textFormat: Text.PlainText
      	    anchors.margins: 10
      	    color: "white"
                  wrapMode: Text.WrapAnywhere
                  maximumLineCount: 10
                  elide: Text.ElideLeft
                  text: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

              }
          }
      }
