Hi Jessica,
I just noticed that our site has that issue as well. So.. I filed a DSpace
bug, fixed it, and added a patch to Jira, complete with screenshots of
before-and-after.
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1044
I'll probably need some feedback from people on whether we should be
truncating the length to 50 characters or not. Either way, it shouldn't be
Java limiting this information. XSL is capable of truncating at a given
length. I've chosen not to limit at all, just have CSS keep things looking
normal though. For the patch, cheers to Josi for pulling out the 50 char
limit. And thanks to Jessica for finding the bug/annoyance.
Hej hej,
Peter Dietz
