Technical details

• Device name: Pixel 3a emulator
• Android version: 11
• App version: 2.2.1

Describe the bug

The input field “Postal Code” for the Rapid Test Profile

• does not display the prompt for the name of the field completely
• does not display the complete postal code during data entry

Steps to reproduce the issue

Locale is English (United Kingdom) Font size and display size: Default

1. In CWA Start Screen, tap “NEXT STEPS”
2. Tap Create Rapid Test Profile
3. View form and note that the field for Postal Code entry shows truncated text e.g. “Postal…”
4. Start entering the fictive 5-digit post code “12345”
5. Note that only three complete digits are shown during the data entry. Also the prompt now only shows “Pos…”. If the font size is set to largest, then only “Po…” is shown.

Expected behavior

• With locale set to English (United Kingdom) the text “Postal Code” in Create Rapid Test Profile should be completely readable.
• During data entry of the Postal Code (assumed to be 5 digits for Germany) the whole 5 digits should be visible.

Possible Fix

• The complete hint text in TextInputLayout view id/zip_code_input_layout with string rat_profile_create_zip_code_hint should be visible, also when the locale is not German (where the string “PLZ” is shorter).
• Increase the width of the view id/zip_code_input_layout

Did you try the fix already in the emulator to see whether also the “Postal Code” hint is now displayed completely?

With font size set to Default, the hint and the postcode itself is displayed completely in v2.3.0-RC0.

During input the full 5 digits are displayed, however the hint becomes truncated during input. I think that is acceptable.

If the font size is set to Large, then the hint becomes truncated to “Postal C…” in English. If the font size is set to Largest, then the hint becomes truncated to “Postal…” in English.

In case it’s still too small, could you recommend an abbreviation for zip code/postal code as a string in analogy to PLZ?

In the UK it’s called “postcode” - all one word, which would save three characters if changed. (See https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode). However the other non-German languages would also need to be shorted as well:

I think it is good enough in the release candidate for 2.3. It could of course be further optimized to show complete texts for all languages and all font sizes.
