Currently, when a text does not fit into a table or grid cell, then Ellipsis (...) are shown in RCP. In RAP the text is clipped.
The same applies for the column header of a table/grid.

When I want to have ellipsis in table/grid cells in RAP, then I can do "setData(RWT.MARKUP_ENABLED, true)" for the table/grid and then wrap the text of a cell inside a div-tag with style "text-overflow: ellipsis".
But when I want to have ellipsis in the column header, I have no way of doing so currently.

It would be great, if the overflow behavior in RCP and RAP were the same.
But for me it would also be sufficient, if there was a way to do the setData-Workaround also for column headers.

Fixed in master with change https://git.eclipse.org/r/28947. Table/TreeItem and Table/TreeColumn CSS elements now support "text-overflow" property. Valid values are "clip" and "ellipsis". In default theme the "ellipsis" is made default.
