I probably just made the longest contribute note I will ever make only to find out after I submitted it that a good chuck of it isn't visible when you go to the page to vote on it.

Either more space or scroll bars would be nice.

I see this didn't get much attention originally. I just experienced this myself.

I don't know if everyone realizes it but it appears that when we made the switch from IVS to Invelos, the contribution notes for an evaluation may not include all of the contribution notes that were provided by the user. There seems to be a length limit.

I voted 'no' on something today due to a lack of documentation only to have it brought to my attention by the contributor that the documentation was there...it's just that the notes were too long and some of the documentation was cut off.

If you view the full list of prior contribution notes for the profile, you can see all of the notes for the current contribution, but you have to click the contribution notes icon ( ) to get there.

I would recommend that we see all of the contribution notes for a submission on the main evaluation page or at least have a link at the bottom of the notes that indicates that an overflow has occurred and that there are more notes available on another page. It's not always obvious when the contribution notes have been truncated.

I agree with this. The current eval page does not give you the complete contribution note.  If the break happens to be even with the end of a sentence, you have no way of knowing that there is more to see. This should be expanded to show the entire note IMO.

I totally agree. 

I had to resubmit the same (long!) contribution note a few times, until it was entirely visible.

I would like more space AND some kind of notice if the note is longer than that and will not be entirely visible.

It doesn't disturb me that much that the complete notes can't be seen on the evaluation page because you can see them on the contribution notes page. What's really disturbing is that you get no indication at all that the notes have been cut off.
