[Development] Text clipping in QtQuick 2.0

[Alan Alpert]

Clipping has never been enabled by default (not even in QtQuick 1.x). An 
important detail he left out of the description (though not the example) was 
that he explicitly set clip: true on the Text element.

This does make him seen extremely open minded to consider clip: true not 
clipping as a 'feature' ;). If I saw that behavior I'd file it in JIRA 
directly.
