Unable to view full details of tasks with long title/desc/tags #5627

Open nus-se-bot opened 2 years ago

nus-se-bot commented 2 years ago

Able to add tasks with very long title/desc/tags. However, there is no way to view their full details, as they get trimmed by ... in the GUI. There could be a way to retrieve this information, otherwise the user loses it entirely. High severity since tasks with long titles/desc are not that uncommon of an occurrence.

This should be a low severity "A flaw that is unlikely to affect normal operations of the product. Appears only in very rare situations and causes a minor inconvenience only." and most definitely not a high severity as it does NOT make the product "almost unusable for most users.".

Even then, on a normal screen, the maximum character limit for names (on my system) before ... appears is slightly higher than 70 characters. This number is higher for fields with smaller text size. It just so happens that the NHS accepts up to only 70 characters.

Same with contacts.

For tags, 99.9% of words are 19 characters or less.

For emails, even with outliers, the maximum character length does not exceed 50.

For addresses, unless the user lives in Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, this really isn't an issue.

Even with all these statistics, for tasks titles or descriptions, you may also double-click an individual task to view its full details.
