Problem/Motivation
When no subject is set explicitly for a comment, it is automatically derived by truncating the comment body. This often leads to fragmented sentence parts being the comment subjects, which can look strange and out of place.
Proposed resolution
Add an ellipsis character to the end of the trimmed comment subject.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
Trimmed comment titles appear trimmed.
API changes
None.
Beta phase evaluation
| Issue category | Task because nothing is broken, but this is not a new feature, just a (minor) change in behavior |
|---|---|
| Issue priority | Normal |
| Unfrozen changes | Unfrozen because it only changes markup. |
| Prioritized changes | The main goal of this issue is usability. |
| Disruption | Not disruptive. This changes the makeup of the comment subjects that get saved in the database but it does not change the data structure in any way and the trimming is a one-time operation so this is 100% backwards-compatible not only with contributed modules but also with existing sites. |
