file Long Names in Contact are not wrapped, but cropped

Hi,

my issue is that for long names that do not fit in one line on the contact card, the name gets truncated. Please see attached image.



I would rather have the name wrap in two lines. A truncated name is of no use on a contact card.

How can I change that?

Thanks! - Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,
you are stretching the term 'contact name' quite a bit :-)
The contact name field can be longer different ways: you can make the text size smaller, make the contact card bigger and also you can override the CSS for the field to avoid the cropping.
.personname {
    text-overflow: inherit !important;
    white-space: normal !important;
}
That should let the contact name field information show on several lines.

Thanks!

I had been looking for a php function in your scripts that was responsible for the text cropping, but failed to find it.

I did not know that it is possible to truncate by css. So today I learned something new! Great! Removed the "overflow: elipsis" and "nowrap" statements and now the text flows freely. Thanks!
