Events with long descriptions jump off past the left of the screen and can't be seen properly in day and list view

[jdaviescoates]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create or edit an event
2. Add a long description (16+ lines in day view, 23+ lines in list view)
3. Event jumps off to the left of the screen so half of it can be seen to be edited nor viewed, like this

Expected behavior

I expect the same behaviour as exists in week and month view. However long event descriptions are there, the events don't become un-viewable by largely jumping off the screen

Actual behaviour

Events with long descriptions jump off to the left of the screen so half of it can be seen to be edited nor viewed in both day and list view.

Hi @jdaviescoates , I would like to contribute to this issue

Great!

Please guide me on how to proceed with this.

I'm not a developer so I've no idea really, but presumably one would look at the code, work out why this is happening, fix up the code and then submit a pull request :man_shrugging:

It'd be great if someone did take this one though as I find it rather frustrating to have to keep switching views just to be able to see/ edit my events.

[jdaviescoates]

This is still a frustrating issue that really slows down my workflow.

[jdaviescoates]

This is still an issue with Nextcloud 26.0.1 and Calendar 4.3.4

[jdaviescoates]

Still hitting this frustrating issue on Nextcloud 27.1.0 and Calendar 4.5.0

[jdaviescoates]

Given I mostly use the list view this is still a really frustrating bug for me (fyi I'm now on Nextcloud 27.1.2 and Calendar 4.5.2)

[jdaviescoates]

Sorry to sound like a stuck record but this still routinely annoys me.

Sure'y it's just a simple CSS fix or something? :man_shrugging:

Please fix :pray:

I'm now on Nextcloud 27.1.5 and Calendar 4.6.2

I just opened up my browser inspector to see what I could see and if I could work out why this happens, but as soon as I opened it the pop-up moved to the correct location in the middle of the screen instead of half hanging of the left hand side of the screen.

Does that give any hints as to what the issue may be?
