I am getting more and more forgetful. I do not remember that we talked about this topic ;-)

And I was not able to reproduce the behavior described in [1].

debug($this->cObj->cropHTML('foo bar baz','5'));

resulted in

|foo b|

as expected. Could you please give me a hint?

There were some arguments against some magic and some -1 we can not simply ignore. I suggest to revert the changes until the situation with [1] is clear and we have +1s.
