UI flaw in note display section #1515

Open nus-pe-bot opened 3 years ago

nus-pe-bot commented 3 years ago

Parts of the note content is cut off after adding extra line break. Should be added as truncated ... like the 2nd task if cannot display properly

The display in note content is design this way such that the second line is cut off mid-way This is a way to indicate to the user that there are more to the note content.

The note content in the note list is suppose to display only one line. So, what will happen if there multiple line in a note? the note content will not be able to show accurately that there is more content.

Given the following 3 example

Let assume the following 3 note have the exact same content. and each have a different way of showing the display

The 2nd note added "..." to the back. when the first paragraph is too short, but have more paragraph after this, This design however does not show clearly to the user if there may be more content to this note.

The 3rd note straight out ignores that there may be more content, making it unclear to the user if there more content to the note.

This 1st note, which is our design choice clearly show there "there more content in the note". it give more of a preview to the note.

We do not want to show the entire 2nd line because the user may though "this note only have 2 line of content". they may think 3rd line, 4th line or even more line should be shown.

Hence, it is a design choice we make to give the user insight that "there is more to this note".
