## Background
In the current Select in Codex, the text wraps to a second line when the text exceeds the maximum of the first line. As decided in {T359636}, Select and Button will be maximum of one text line and will use an ellipsis in case the text exceeds. The entire text will be visible using a Tooltip.

### Previous implementations
- **Codex demo:** [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/codex/main/components/demos/select.html | Select in Codex ]]
- **OOUI:** [[ https://doc.wikimedia.org/oojs-ui/master/demos/?page=widgets&theme=wikimediaui&direction=ltr&platform=desktop#demo-section-dropdown | Select in OOUI ]] [does not provide truncation support]
### Design spec
| [[ https://www.figma.com/file/OfQyXLZAMC1zL1XN737vEM/Select-component---T340858?type=design&node-id=2115-9993&mode=design&t=d1Gyqw2jFZRG0rMD-11 | Component spec sheet ]] |
### Open questions
- Our overflow guidelines for truncation with ellipsis state “Include tooltip support for truncated text, enabling users to access full”.
Tooltip is limited to pointer devices. We should expand the guidelines here.
