Description

When a paragraph that wasn't edited is very short (or even empty), the collapsing function does not make much sense. In the first case it only toggles the graying out, without the size of the box changing. In the second case it does nothing at all and the button seems brocken, since it apparently doesn't do anything.

I would suggest to add some kind of a threshold for the length under which the collapsing feature is disabled and the button not shown.
