captions are truncated in "Collect photos" dialog

philiptdotcom · July 19, 2011

Image captions are TRUNCATED in the "Collect photos" dialog (see attached); they should NOT be. Perhaps the full text could be hidden from view, but the text needs to REMAIN AVAILABLE on the page to allow SEARCHING the page for content in the captions.

Questions:
1) Does my problem description make sense?
2) Can you replicate it?
3) Do you agree that it's a problem?
4) Approximately when can we expect a solution?

Hi Philip, thanks - this is a feature request and I'll make sure our product team sees it

...although if you are specifying "feature request" vs. "bug," I think there's (perhaps) a fine line here! Since when is fixing a design flaw not a bug fix?

I agree. That is no feature request. It's a problem, (bug) plain & simple. I've run into it as well. Some galleries have a whole first part of the caption that's the same, then there's an identifying phrase. In this design, that goes missing. As many have stated before, every "Select" dialogue page within a gallery should have the same UI, but it doesn't. There's no reason to have a new design for every single type of "Select" page. One expects to see the full caption, full info & an enlargement on hovering, etc.
