Details
The issue was with the package react-text-truncate that we use to truncate too long project description on the dashboard with
read morelink.For mobile resolutions, the truncate maximum lines has been set to
Infinitywhich caused in some circumstances the infinite loop in the plugin, see https://github.com/ShinyChang/React-Text-Truncate/blob/master/src/TextTruncate.js#L133I put
1000as trancate maximum lines, feels like this is enogh for project descriptions to be shown fully without trancations.NOTE, that even big finite values like
1 000 000cause browser to freeze.
