Hi, thanks for the bug report!
We are aware that the team description (and other details of a person) are all truncated by default (and ellipses are used to indicate that it is in fact a longer name/description/email) - this is the intended behaviour.
However, we don't feel this is a medium severity feature flaw for the following reasons:
- It is quite common in many applications to not show the fields in full detail, and they are truncated instead (think of WhatsApp: the unread messages shown before you click a chat are truncated too).
- Users can easily resize their window and view the full name of the field (be it, description, names, etc.)
In the worst case, this poses a very minor inconvenience in extremely rare occasions where the user's screen is so small that the window cannot be expanded. However, since this is meant to be a desktop application, it is unlikely that users will face this issue. Hence, we're shifting the severity to low to accurately reflect the issue.
We hope you understand our rationale.
Have a nice reading week ahead!
Items for the Tester to Verify
:question: Issue severity
Team chose [severity.Low]
Originally [severity.Medium]
- [ ] I disagree
Reason for disagreement: [replace this with your explanation]
When I have tried to resize the window, it seems like the longer names do not appear, e.g. Team Description, students' email. It is not scrollable nor wrapped, I believe this may hinder user experience if they create longer names for student names, team description, as the only way for them to see the complete sentence is to resize the window
