Collapsed text truncated on mobile devices

    Hi Clinton,
    Your plugin has been an invaluable asset on the website I’ve created for a non-profit organization I’m part of. I’ve used it to collapse a list of detailed information that will be of interest to some, but not most, visitors to the website. What I’ve noticed, however, is that on mobile devices, if the list is too long, it is cut short, with several paragraphs missing at the end; the text ends in the middle of a paragraph. If I reduce the margins on the <div> containing the list, more text fits in, but still not all of it. I’m wondering if there is some limit to the amount of data/pixels that can be hidden/displayed by the plugin, and if this can be increased. Right now it appears to be about 7 screensful on a mobile phone (a lot, I admit). The effect can be replicated on a PC by using Firefox’s tools for developers and setting a narrow screen size. Any ideas? For now I’ve rendered some content invisible using { display: none; } in order to shorten the list, so at the moment it fits, but it would be nice to have room for the images I’d like to include in that section. The interesting thing is that at desktop resolutions, everything is visible. Thanks for your time!

    Hi @vmike,

    Thank you for the feedback. I am travelling for the next 2 weeks and will try to find a fix for this when I get back. Sorry I can’t do this sooner.

    In theory there should be no limit, but I am sure that there must be something restricting your text. I will let you know if I find anything. In the meantime, I hope that you can use 2 or more collapsible blocks to get by with until a solution is found.

    Seeing the same thing on desktop at https://digitalthoreau.org/fluid-text-toc/

    The last section on the page, which is long, is not all displayed. It fades out mid-sentence, mid-paragraph, mid-section.

    Update: I’ve commented out the shortcodes for now. I need this content to be displayed. I’m using a TOC and target links instead. So if you visit the page, you won’t see the issue.

    Hi @vmike, @whatthedickens ,

    I fixed the text restriction issue and tested the plugin with very long text. All seems to be OK now in the new version (1.3.1). Thank you for your proactive feedback and for helping me identify this improvement.

    Please rate the plugin if it meets your needs and if you find it useful.
