Action performed:

1. Login with any account
2. Choose any single line TextInput, ie: First name, Last name, Workspace name.
3. Enter the long text with multiple words, for example: Visaocuoitroi193's Workspacethisverylongtext and save entry

Expect result:

If the full text is too long to fit in the text field, the text should be cut off and we should add a ... to show that the string continues.

Actual result:

Any words that go past the end of the text field disappear from view. (I think it's because they are moved to a newline)

Workaround:

unknown

Triggered auto assignment to @sakluger (Bug), see https://stackoverflow.com/c/expensify/questions/14418 for more details.

This doesn't have anything to do with the ' actually. What's happening is that if you add a long string of characters after a space, the word moves down to the next line (basically text wrapping).

I posted in the original Slack thread to see if we'd like to fix and what the expected behavior should be in this case.

Changing this to weekly and we will revisit in the new year when more people are back online.
