      With some fonts, QFontMetrics::elidedText elides text even when passed width from QFontMetrics::width(QString).

      QFontMetrics::width(QString) returns the distance to where the next string should be drawn (from docs), so the passed text should fit into returned width without eliding.

      Affected fonts: Noto Sans
      Unaffected fonts: DejaVu Sans

      Attached is a sample program that shows the issue.
