I'm using a standard UITableViewCell and just populating textLabel and detialTextLabel. I want the lables to wrap and show the "..." at the end. This all appears to work fine EXCEPT if I'm using one of the accessibility font sizes. In this case, the entire text is displayed which corrupts my ell because I'm only expecting one line of text for textLabel and detialTextLabel.

This appears to only happen in iPad 12.9"; other devices wor as expected. Same symptom in iOS 11 & 12.

How can get the labels to truncate even when using accessibility font sizes?

I cannot reproduce the problem (on simulator) when enabling Accessibility for the tableViewCell.

Where exactly do you set accessibility font sizes ? For the cell ? For the title ?

I'm not directly setting font sizes. I'm using the standard UITableViewCell. In Settings->General->Accessibility turn on Larger Accessibility sizes and selecting any of the last four (or five) larger settings activates an "accessibility font"; such that isAccessibilityCategory property is true.

I can see in the view debugger that the font increases as I change the text size in Settings. But I'm not changing the font in any way. So, it must be happening behind the scene.

I get the same in simulator when Accessibility is set both on settings and on the cell.

I once got the very large characters I requested, but could not repeat it. However I get the long text on 2 lines, and not truncated.

so it looks like you're seeing the same thing. I would like the text to be on one line; just like when accessibility sizes are not being used.

Is it the intended behaviour to not truncate the text when using accessibility sizes?
