The topic is called “We salute you API Version 1”, which is a pretty short title. However, it gets cut off and replaced with ellipses when scrolling, even though there is plenty of room.

Far longer titles don’t get off with my screen size.

Here is the topic (it’s public), which will hopefully make it easier to figure out what’s happening.

> Hi, does anyone know if I should tick assignments:start, reviews:create, study\_materials:create, study\_materials:update or user:update for the API token I’m creating for KaniWani? Do I just tick them all? Does it matter? Thanks and RIP API Version 1

EDIT: Found a second short title topic that gets cut off.

The thing I see in common is having some system icons at the start of the topics, specifically the pinned and solved icon. After noticing that I found several other short title topics that were solved that showed the issue too.

I don’t see this issue on solved topics here on meta, so maybe this was already fixed and just hasn’t been deployed out to [https://community.wanikani.com/](https://community.wanikani.com/) yet? Anyone have any insight into that?
