Incomplete text shown on dashboard

It looks to me that this has to do with design of the default theme.
In the example picture under tab Other, you see a longer text in a text device. You see it just goes to the next line.

When I loot at it under tab Dashboard, the visible text is Incomplete.

I almost assume this is a well-known phenomenon.
Apparently there is a difference in the processing in CSS.
Does anyone know the solution for this?

Your remark is correct.
You can solve your problem by using a text dummy sensor.

BTW Mine shows normal weather expectations and switches to weather alert text in case there is a weather alert.
Code: Select all
if (item.json.liveweer[1].alarm == '0') then
domoticz.devices('Weeralarm').switchOff()
elseif (item.json.liveweer[1].alarm == '1') then
domoticz.devices('Weersverwachting').updateText(item.json.liveweer[1].alarmtxt)
domoticz.devices('Weeralarm').switchOn()
end

I am using a dummy text device!
Please show me the same device on your dashboard.

Sorry I did not say this correctly. What I showed was indeed an alert device.
I wanted to say that It also happens with a text device.

BTW. You mentioned your switching between normal weather expectations and weather alert text.
That may be userfull to you, but In fact it is about the text length. Not about the content.

I guess I have found it.
Went digging in the CSS and found that is is set in in /pathtodomoticz/www/css/styles.css under
.status.
This is what I saw:
- TextWithoutWordwrap-JanPep.png (11.6 KiB) Viewed 12436 times
I changed this in:
Code: Select all
.status {
/* 22-05-2024 Jan peppink, Modified to get wordwrap on dashboard.*/
/*white-space: nowrap;*/
white-space: normal;
}
And now I see:
- TextWithWordwrap-JanPep.png (11.82 KiB) Viewed 12436 times
And that is exactly as I see it under the Utility tab.
After that I looked around and until now I did not see unwanted side effects. So in the meantime I'll leave it this way.
I guess a have to make a note to repeat this after updates.

I have a long header for some alert boxes which are over written by the status

. I tried this approach but it had no affect on the header. Has something changed or am I looking in the wrong place?

I do not know this X10 Security device type.
Normally the device name should be shortened by you manually as that is what you see in the header. This name should also not change by an integration. You can change the name by clicking on the edit button on the widget.
A status text is shown here (Normal) and that can change to another status by the integration.

In many cases you can edit the name of the sensor and it will still function.

For some reason I did not received the notification of new messages. So I have missed your post. Sorry for that!
Indeed the CSS change I posted is about the wordwrap in the 'body' text and not about the header.
As waltervl and HvdW suggested, it seems to me that it would be more desirable to shorten the name if possible.
Otherwise you should look into making the header multi-line, but I would not be so quick to go into that. You may then have to deal with unwanted effects in other places.
