Hi! The calendar seems to cut off the event times when in block display mode. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

Hi it’s expected, it’s to have maximum text displayed. If we do an ellipsis … we lose 3 chars by default on every cases.

The reporter’s concern here is with the cutoff time though, I agree we have no choice but to cut off the event name, but maybe we can allow the full time to be displayed?

Theres no silver bullet, it’s all kind of tradeoffs, just like showing the time on a different line. Im not against trying to show the full time, but that’s a default of fullcalendar for a reason (the library we use). I could be tempted to just hide the time in month view too.

This being said, Im fine doing this, I can agree that this might cause more trouble to not do it.
