Bubble text can be too small to read

[shenghuang]

When there are a lot activities to display, some bubbles are too small to read their text titles. Would it be a nice enhancement to have a feature like displaying the text as tooltip on mouse over?

Thanks,

Hello, thanks a lot for logging this issue.

We didn't think about this before because we were targeting touch-devices with the initial release. Though I do think this would be useful when you are viewing it on a pc.

I think there is a parameter somewhere to change the minimum text size, which would help too.

Thanks for the quick update. Just curious - on touch devices, how could users know which bubble to click for further viewing details of an activity if the text in the bubble is too small?

Minimum text size is a working work-around although there will be only a couple of letters displayed for small bubbles, which won't give users a lot of clues regarding what the bubble is about.

We've also had some feedback on this from the user testing that Alexandria in AidInfo and Becky in White October conducted. It's a question of how well we can model this when it is not in our gift to determine how long the activity title is.

Is text size based on string length of the activity title a possibility?

Just curious, is tooltip a possibility as well? Thanks.
