Comment 1 for bug 1603450

This is due to the title's Label having WrapAnywhere as wrapMode. This means only ElideRight will function.

Adding a note of this in the documentation, with an accompanying example [1] about how to get e.g. ElideMiddle to function, would fix this issue.

import QtQuick 2.4

Item {
    width: units.gu(30)
    height: units.gu(50)

    ListItem {
        ListItemLayout {
            id: fileLayout
            title.elide: Text.ElideMiddle
            title.wrapMode: Text.NoWrap
            title.text: "Red Roses run no risk, sir, on nurses order."
        }
    }
