There is an iOS bug that is triggered when you add a component from Visualforce into S1 using an iFrame. The truncated element does not recognize its width.
About Truncation#
If problems occur when using truncation with elements that use flexbox, you might need to add the .slds-has-flexi-truncate class on the flexbox child node ( .slds-col or .slds-col_padded elements) that contains the truncated text.
Examples#
Single Line#
Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.
<div class="slds-size_1-of-2">
<p class="slds-truncate" title="Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.">Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.</p>
</div>Single Line with Nested Grid Containers#
Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.
<div class="slds-grid" style="width:200px">
<div class="slds-grid slds-has-flexi-truncate">
<p class="slds-truncate" title="Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.">Long text field with many lines and truncation will look like this. Even though the text might go on for ages and ages.</p>

- Selector
- The CSS class being referred to.
- Summary
- A description of what the class does.
- Support
- Whether the class name is dev-ready (meaning it's fully vetted and tested and safe to use) or prototype (which means it's not fully vetted yet).
- Restrict
- The selector that the class name is allowed to be used on.
- Variant
- The base level pattern for a component. A variant can be extended to create another variant of that component, for example, a stateful button is a derivative of the base button.
- Modifier
- A single class that can be added to an HTML element of a component to modify its output. Typically these will be colors, sizing and positioning.
