Calendar entry after the fix (194.27 KB, video/webm)

Description Mohammed Sadiq 2016-09-14 03:07:28 UTC 
As the title text gets large, the window of even entry gets wider, as its title to gets wider. The title of the window can be better ellipsized after certain maximum length.

Calendar entry after the fix

ellipsizing at the end or beginning might be better, so that we can avoid some UI glitches.
