I try to implement a line limit for multiline text. Found the line clamp property for this. I also try to add list element inside the container <ol></li></li></ol> This is working fine on chrome browser but on safari browser the text will be overlapped..

.test {
   overflow: hidden;
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 3;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
}
<div class="test">
   Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
   <ol>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
      <li>Hello world</li>
   </ol>
</div>

I had a similar issue.

Setting display to inline-block on <ol> (or <ul> where an issue also occurs) fixed it for me.

In general, seems to me like Safari doesn't handle well blocks displayed inside of the container with line-clamp setup.
