There was a problem hiding this comment.
It seems like the root cause of the issue may be that we wrap cell contents in a div which defaults to display: block, preventing the EUI styles from being inherited correctly. Instead of redefining the EUI styles here, what if we just change the wrapping element to a span in InTableSearchHighlightsWrapper so the styles are inherited correctly?
I gave it a quick shot locally and it seemed to work as expected.

Summary
Closes #238831
After wrapping cell into a
divin purpose of in-table-search (we need arefthere) we lost cell content truncation, because styles applied by EUI are not inherited further.UI before in-table-search
UI after in-table-search
EUI docs
As a solution, I firstly added a
.eui-textTruncateclass directly to that new div, however it was then applied to multilines as well and the class forced one-line text render, no matter of body cell lines count.Eventually I've targeted
.euiDataGridRowCell__content--defaultHeight > div(targeting --defaultHeight is already a workaround for one line summary truncation) and applied truncation styles manually. Another possibility would be applyingeuiTextTruncate()helper, however it doesn't work in an object syntax we use here (following to Emotion standards).I'm open to refactor to css`` syntax, which accepts
euiTextTruncate()if we prefer to use EUI helper, instead of keeping Emotion syntax aligned.Checklist
