Label truncation - Bug?

Question

I am using a label and my label text can have "-" in it (e.g. "TX-dallas_bigbig_whater" or "big-34333_hose_345" ) and so when the label truncates long names it will truncate the above two examples like this:
"TX-dallas_bigbig_whater"  gets truncated to "TX-..."   but should be   "TX-dallas_bigb..."
"big-34333_hose_345"         gets truncated to "big-..."   but should be   "big-34333_hos..."
Is this a bug or ?

I'd update your Flex 4 SDK to one of the newer nightly builds: http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Download+Flex+4
If I used 4.0.0.10485 (Beta 2 build) my s:Label text truncated to "TX-...".
After switching to 4.0.0.14288 my s:Label text truncated to "TX-dallas_bigbi...".
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <s:layout>
        <s:VerticalLayout />
    </s:layout>
    <s:controlBarContent>
        <s:Label id="sdkVer" initialize="sdkVer.text = mx_internal::VERSION;" />
    </s:controlBarContent>
    <s:Label text="TX-dallas_bigbig_whater" width="100" maxDisplayedLines="1" />
</s:Application>
