ellipsizeMode on Text component does not work

[aalises]

The problem
ellipsizeMode on Text component does not work. the produced css is always text-overflow: ellipsis regardless of the value of the ellipsizeMode e.g ellipsizeMode: "clip".

How to reproduce

Example: https://codesandbox.io/embed/mo1ylwmp08

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a clipped text with ellipsizeMode different than tail

<Text numberOfLines={1} ellipsizeMode="clip" > Example Text </Text>

2. The text is always clipped with ellipsis regardless of the mode (head, clip...)

Expected behavior
ellipsizeMode = "clip" generates text-overflow: clip, for example, and not text-overflow: ellipsis ...

Environment (include versions). Did this work in previous versions?

• React Native for Web (version): 0.11.x
• React (version): 16.8.4
• Browser: Google Chrome

Somewhat related to this... ellipsizeMode: middle will also not work as expected on web platforms as there is no CSS equivalent to cropping text in the middle.

[Bournegit]

override it with
<Text ellipsizeMode='clip' color={'grey300'} style={{textOverflow:"clip"}} numberOfLines={1}>
