Improve truncation of Review Changes text
Open, MediumPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Summary

There have been improvements to the Review changes card in T426183. This proposes additional changes since on smaller mobile screens, the article title, title description, and edit summary all get truncated when they exceed the width of the card. With longer text strings, it becomes hard to understand the information in each card.

Proposed changes

  • Article title
    • Never truncating the article title and instead letting it flow over to the following line.
  • Article description
    • Not truncating the short article description if it is too long for the first line but rather moving it to its own line below the article title and truncating it if it exceeds the width of the full line.
  • Username
    • Moving timestamp down if username is too long and truncating the username only after the time has been moved down and it exceeds the widths of the full line.
  • Edit summary
    • Truncating it if it exceeds 2 lines.
