I have a St.ScrollView() which contains a St.BoxLayout({ vertical: true }), which itself contains many St.Label({ text: "foooooooo" }).  Now St.Label ellipsizes at the end by default.

What I want is to have no horizontal scrollbar, and to get the labels ellipsized.  However, what I end up with is that the allocation given to the St.BoxLayout is the size of the scrollview, and then St.BoxLayout assumes it's scrolled horizontally.  But there is no horizontal scrollbar.

Owen and I discussed passing the knowledge of scrolling direction down into the scrollable child via the adjustments; i.e. the ScrollView _allocate would set up the adjustment min/max, then call the _allocate for the child.

Alternatively, StScrollable could have a special _allocate_scrollable function.  But this would need analysis for how it interacted with the clutter allocation handling.
