News article titles get cut off strangely in link previews

When pasting a link to a news article into discord chat, it shows a preview of the link. The title of the news article very frequently gets cut off in a strange manner, however.

For example:

Notice, from the article's URL, that there are only two more words that should be in the article title after the ellipsis. But the link preview cuts off the last two words, even though 75% of the second line of text is empty. The entire title would fit without taking up any more space.

This sometimes happens even when a single two-letter word is cut off from the end of the article title, and the ellipsis is actually longer than the word being cut off.

Suggested Fix: The article title should be displayed in full in the link preview, if there is room for it on the allotted two lines.
