how to fix the see more in the description
Can confirm I have the same issue
Modern
The collapsed description box
The expanded description box
Classic
The description box, which is missing the button to expand/collapse or show more/less. Part of the description is not visible because of this
Possible solution
I don't know in the slightest how this extension works, but after inspecting I found that when removing this specific class from this specific div, the description is expanded.
So changing
<div id="action-panel-details" class="action-panel-content yt-uix-expander yt-card yt-card-has-padding yt-uix-expander-collapsed">
to
<div id="action-panel-details" class="action-panel-content yt-uix-expander yt-card yt-card-has-padding">
Result of removing that css class
It is a temporary fix but not something that fixes the root problem (i think).
also #36 looks to be about the same issue
I have another temporary solution. Make a JavaScript bookmarklet with the following code as the "location/address":
javascript:(function(){document.getElementById("watch-description-text").style.maxHeight = "none";})();
Clicking this should expand the description when viewing a video.
I have also noticed that some videos have the "Show More" still available, but many do not.
