Generator: Unnecessary linebreaks for long passwords

[Jan-Koll]

Bitwarden Beta

• I'm using the new native Bitwarden Beta app and I'm aware that legacy .NET app bugs should be reported in bitwarden/mobile

Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to 'Generator'
2. Increase password length via the slider

Expected Result

The generated password fills the available horizontal space.

Actual Result

Unnecessary linebreaks are added almost every other line. This results in a lot of vertical space that is required.

Screenshots or Videos

Additional Context

No response

Build Version

2024.9.0 (19209)

Environment Details

Android 12, default system font size

Issue Tracking Info

• I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

This is still an issue in 2024.10.2 what version will the fix be implemented in?

[Jan-Koll]

I agree, the issue is still there in the latest beta (Version: 2024.10.2 (19397)). Since the changes were merged 3 days ago, my guess is that the next release will include the fix.

It is still present for me on 2024.11.2

Just an update, up until 11.2 it was showing regular linebreaks (alternative lines with just 2 characters) as shown in the posted screenshot. In 11.3 and 11.4 it is showing random linebreaks as in the "before" video of the posted pull request #4187.

@differsthecat @jtodddd Maybe this issue could be opened again, since the problem doesn't seem to be resolved.

Interesting. I am on 11.3 currently and I always get 3 characters every other line.

By the way, I just noticed this is also the case for the passphrase generation (so not only password generation).

@differsthecat This has not been fixed.

In 2024.11.6 (19499) it is fixed.

This still looks to be an issue in the Bitwarden native Android app 2025.1.0. Sometimes it lines up correctly but other times it does what I've shown below. Another issue was opened for this: #4394
