Abstract
A system and method may truncate entered text of a text box user interface element to display both a beginning portion of the text and an ending portion of the text. Within a displayed user interface, a collapsible text entry box may include a text entry field having a maximum size based on a spatial relationship between the field and the box. The text entry field may include a text entry capacity of a threshold number of characters based on the text entry field parameter. The field may receive a stream of characters and the user interface may initially display all characters as the field receives them. When the displayed characters exceeds the threshold number, the system and method may truncate the displayed characters at a truncation point. The position of the truncation point may include a displayed character after a first displayed character of the received character stream.
