Laying out text is somewhat expensive, which is why the geometryChange function tries to determine whether or not it's necessary. However, when growing the width of multi-line eliding text, we would over-optimize, and stop relayouting, when there would have been more space for text. This worked for single line text, since then the widthExceeded flag would always be set to true, when the natural text width exceeds the layouts width. However, we don't always set that flag for multi-line text, thus it's possible that we skip the relayout step every time we increase the width of the Item.
