Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

In Emacs 24.5, folded content was displayed with a distinctly colored
ellipsis.  I was somewhat bothered why its appearance could not be
styled by customizing the org-ellipsis face, but did not bother figuring
out at that time.  In Emacs 25.1 however, the ellipsis has the same face
as the preceding element, be it a headline or a cookie.  Judging from
the code, the org-ellipsis face has never been used, rather the old
behavior happened to be dependent on how Emacs decides to handle buffer
display table slots without any specified face.

That being said, would it make sense to default to the default or
org-ellipsis face if none is specified?  Or alternatively, to drop the
face argument and always use the org-ellipsis face, then let the user
customize it?

I did the latter. The current situation was confusing. Thank you for the
report.
