Topics with long names cause some UI issues

Open lukas-shawford opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

If a topic's name is really long, it causes ugly wrapping in the sidebar:

swot - long topic name sidebar

It also causes the the Edit button to be displaced in the main content area:

swot - long topic name

Not sure yet what the best approach would be to deal with long topic names. Ideas:

  • Truncate long topic names with ellipses in the sidebar, and don't allow wrapping.
  • Make the sidebar resizable by dragging (would need to remember the user's preferred width)
  • In the main content area, topic names should probably wrap to the next line. The edit button should stay in place regardless of how long the topic name is.
