[Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text? (kbin.social)

They always obscure part of the text, no matter what. I juat want the full text.

nb that I use KES so maybe that's where the issue is?

Edit: should probably mention that this is on mobile, android

Edit 2: the code snippet below, provided by @pamasich, seems to have fixed the issue. I added it to my mobile browser (Firefox nightly) via the Stylus add-on:

div.more:not(:nth-child(1 of .more)) {
    display: none;
}

Edit 3: Latest KES update seems to have fixed the issue. More deets here: https://kbin.social/m/enhancement/t/777616 Thanks @shazbot

I think you're referring to the black bar below comments that are too long which can be clicked to expand the comment?

That has nothing to do with KES's collapsible comments feature as someone else brought up. It's a native kbin feature.

KES actually has a feature that addresses this by automatically clicking that bar, but it seems to only apply to thread bodies, not comments, currently. If you're interested in having it apply to comments too, try filing a new issue on Github requesting the feature. The mod in question is "Always expand post bodies" in the Threads category. This should be fairly easy to add.

Thank you. For me it shows up as a grey bar with an arrow in it (it then becomes two bars when pressed); that might be based on color scheme. But, yes, toggling various KES mods didn't affect it the issue, so it's very likely that it's a Kbin issue. Surprised no one else has mentioned it, if that's the case! It seems to just block out the last couple of lines afaik

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on a default kbin setup with KES either on off. The "always expand post bodies" feature of KES only applies to bodies, but I could extend it to support comments as well so that they auto-expand. What I didn't observe was any situations where the expansion bar obscures the text. Do you have a screenshot of that?

Are you running a custom theme?

Thank you. I'll take some screenshots in the next day as I come across them. No custom theme, just the color schemes offered by stock kbin.

See if this link works:

Funny enough, I was able to somehow press enough times or the right way to reveal all the text. But usually at least the last line is cut off

I understand the root cause now, will ping you again once this feature is working as expected.

Your follow-up is amazing, thank you!
