Truncation of collapsed block text

[Q Okski]

Hello,

Is there a way of extending the display text of collapsed blocks to show more of the content rather that truncating the text and ending the block with jagged edge?  

I am thinking that the COLLAPSE_CHARS constant in the internal_constants.ts needs to be changed, but is there a way to do that using the same pattern shown in the Custom Renderers codelab?

Also does the length of the collapsed row need to be increased using a custom renderer so the untruncated text has enough space to be displayed? 

Thank you for any help

At this time there is no way to configure the length of the truncated text. This is a reasonable feature request and there has been previous discussion about this but it's not possible right now. If you'd like to file a feature request you can do so here: https://github.com/google/blockly/issues/new/choose

We'd also likely accept a PR for this. IMO this constant would be moved to a value on the renderer so that it could be configured just like the other rendering values.
