You have to set the tabStops. The default won't truncate.

I'd like to suggest that the truncation behavior be optional. Perhaps a property of 
the field, tabStopsTruncate, or tabStopsTruncation.

Also, anyone interested in this feature should take a look at text selection when text 
is truncated. There are some tricky UI decisions that need to be made regarding how 
text that is truncated reacts to being selected, and it would be good to get this 
right from the beginning.

Geoff
