Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io: Yes

Description

When a Git commit contains a description, Gitea has this "..." button that we can click to see the description:

However, it would be nice if we could also see the full Summary when it exceeds the allocated space.

I understand we can put the mouse over, and the full Summary will appear in a tooltip, but I don't see any reason to have a limit in first place, since the Summary, by default, has its own max-characters (I believe).

In fact, what I'd like is if I could have the option to show everything by default, without any "..." or having to click the "..." button on every commit.

At the very top of the page, having a checkbox, for example:

Expand all comments

which expands every Summary and every Description on that page, it would be very great!

Thank you.
