Description 'Show more' button appears even when text fits

Opened by keeb · 4/13/2026· Shipped 4/14/2026

Description

The "Show more" / "Show less" toggle on issue descriptions appears unconditionally, even when the description is short enough to display in full. There's no check against the actual content height — it always renders.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open any lab issue with a short description (a sentence or two)
  2. Observe the "Show more" button below the description
  3. Click it — the content doesn't change because it was already fully visible

Expected behavior

"Show more" should only appear when the description is actually truncated/clipped. For short descriptions that fit within the visible area, no button should render.

Additional context

This control may not need to exist at all. Issue #97 proposes click-to-edit for the description field, which would replace the current static markdown display with an interactive editor on click. If the description is always an editable surface, the expand/collapse pattern becomes unnecessary — the editing view would show the full content naturally. Consider removing "Show more" entirely as part of #97 rather than fixing the height detection independently.
