Open Li-Lehao opened 2 years ago

Steps to reproduce: type the command edit 3 c/computer science and applied math double degree into the text box. This long course name is reasonable since it is actually a course name in NUS.

Expected: The course name is shown correctly in the UI. Or some warning or ... is given.

Actual: The name of the course is cut off without any notice to the user.

Very long skill affects UI

steps to reproduce: add a person with very long Skill.

Actual: The UI layout is somehow affected.

Their Response to the 'Original' Bug

[This is the team's response to the above 'original' bug]

Status:
Accepted

Reason:
Could not get dynamic resizing of window size(aka resizing application) to affect the inner components of the UI for the application. Therefore, it is compromised for components to retain its original behaviour resulting in the cosmetic bug.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue duplicate status

Team chose to mark this issue as a duplicate of another issue (as explained in the Team's response above)

Reason for disagreement: I disagree that this is a duplicate bug report although they are all about the cosmetic issue caused by some very long field.

In the original bug, the skill field is put in a bubble so that it is not easy to deal with very long input. However, in this bug the course name is not put in a bubble and you can easily deal with this kind of long input by adding ... in the end, or making the font smaller, or adding one more line to display this field. But the dev team did not do such changes and left this issue there.

This kind of long course name happens frequently and it might cause some inconvenience to the user. Therefore I think that this is a feature flaw.
