It works much better (almost there), but I still see two problems:

- The "..." are underlined twice (two parallel lines). Why?

- When moving the "character cursor" (I mean: not the mouse) over the "...",
  the first dot becomes boxed on its own. Tab'ing multiple times (to expand
  and collapse the hidden region) fixes the box back.
