Showing truncated text on hover using CSS ellipsis overlaps text below it

问题

I have a name tag in the sidebar which should display single line and truncate if long text follow by triple dots (lorem ipsum...) and should show full text on hover.

I am able to achieve this using css but my problem is when full text is displayed it overlaps the text below it. (Images attached)

HTML

<p class="name">
    Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum
</p>

CSS

.name{
    color: #0079c1;
    height: 2em; 
    line-height: 1em; 
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: 400;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    cursor: pointer;
    word-break: break-all;
    overflow:hidden;
    white-space: nowrap;
}

.name:hover{
    overflow: visible; 
    white-space: normal; 
}

Here is a JSFiddle

Text overlapping on hover. Expected behaviour is it should push the content below it.

You can just add height:auto to the hover state and it'll work just fine:

JS Fiddle

.name{
    width:120px;
    color: #0079c1;
    height: 2em; 
    line-height: 1em; 
    font-size: 20px;
    font-weight: 400;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    cursor: pointer;
    word-break: break-all;
    overflow:hidden;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
.name:hover{
    overflow: visible; 
    white-space: normal;
    height:auto;  /* just added this line */
}

<p class="name">
Lorem ipsum lorem ipsum lorem ipsum ipsum lorem ipsum
</p>
<span>

Facing similar problem with some long email addresses in a form I created this solution where the full content is displayed on hover in a tooltip-style pseudo element.

body{
  background:#eee;
}
.box{
  background:#fff;
  box-shadow: 0 25px 30px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
  border:rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
  width:10rem;
  margin:2rem auto;
  padding:2rem;
}
.ellipsis {
    display: block;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    transition: all .2s linear;
    white-space: nowrap;
    padding:.5rem 1rem;
}
.ellipsis:focus, .ellipsis:hover {
  color:transparent;
}
.ellipsis:focus:after,.ellipsis:hover:after{
    content:attr(data-text);
    overflow: visible;
    text-overflow: inherit;
    background: #fff;
    position: absolute;
    left:auto;
    top:auto;
    width: auto;
    max-width: 20rem;
    border: 1px solid #eaebec;
    padding: 0 .5rem;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 4px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.28);
    white-space: normal;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    display:block;
    color:black;
    margin-top:-1.25rem;
  }

<div class="box">
  <p class='ellipsis' data-text='f6cd8edc-60c2-11e7-9919-ef706e78474f'>f6cd8edc-60c2-11e7-9919-ef706e78474f</p>

Requires using data attribute with the full content.
