Highcharts - textOverflow ellipsis for axis titles not working in 5.0 as it did in 4.2.7

[pavaleanuL]

Expected behaviour

When the title for the y axis is long, using overflow - hidden, textOverflow - ellipsis and setting a width would make the title look ok - as in http://jsfiddle.net/0qdyqh3h/1/ (which is using 4.2.7)

Actual behaviour

With version 5, setting these styles have no effect - http://jsfiddle.net/0qdyqh3h/
I have tried several stylings, even with css and could not fix this.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

Internal note:
It's broken since 5.0.10, responsible commit: 65eea38

[pavaleanuL]

Is there a workaround we can use, or we have to wait until it is fixed in a later release?

Thank you.

For now, I suggest to use 5.0.10 version if you need this design, I don't see any better workaround.

@pavaleanuL as a workaround, set useHTML flag as true in the yAxis.title.
