As seen in the first screenshot above, this is a problem with the English version too. I don't remember whether this problem existed in v2.16 or not.

[user1823]

This issue didn't occur in 2.16 because the string was shorter:

To solve this issue, the (xs/card) part should either be moved to the next line or it should be removed.

Testing string:

今日は⁨1⁩枚のカードを⁨⁨3.02⁩秒⁩で学習しています ( ⁨3.02⁩秒 / 枚 )

Though the feeling noted in the review below seems a bit excessive to me, it has more support from readers than I expected.

If they feel that the current information is too much detailed as information on the main screen, I agree with them in the point.

Users can see this information in Statistics screen, so, depending on viewpoint, this information on the main screen is an unnecessary duplicate.

I suppose it would be better to drop not only the "(X s/card)" but also the seconds to decimal point (".XX" of "in X.XX minutes") out of the main screen.

In other words, regarding the main screen, I think it would be better to restore the simple style used in 2.16.

I think that this needs to be done in the Desktop first because AnkiDroid aims to replicate the behaviour of the Desktop.

Something similar was discussed in an Anki Forums thread and a consensus was built. However, no changes were made. It seems that dae wants more people to request the same before the change is made.

[snowtimeglass]

Thank you. It may be nice if it is done in Anki Desktop.

That said, I'm still not sure that this issue need to be done in Anki Desktop first, because I guess the principle that "AnkiDroid aims to replicate the behavior of the Desktop" does not necessarily apply to this case.

PC screens are generally wider than Android device screens ~~, and to begin with, Desktop doesn't have the info in the main screen~~. For now I regard it rather as an AnkiDroid specific issue, if anything.

So, for now, I think that placing abridged information on the main screen does not necessarily need waiting for change to be made in the statistics screen of Anki Desktop.

[user1823]

Desktop doesn't have the info in the main screen.

Which version of Anki are you using? Here is a screenshot from 24.04, showing the info on the main screen. IIRC, Anki shows this info on the main screen since at least 23.10.

[snowtimeglass]

My bad. You're right. I overlooked the information in the main screen of Anki Desktop since my decks overflow as follows:

I'm sorry for my misinterpretation. Thank you for pointing it out.

[snowtimeglass]

I'll reconsider this issue.

[Edit] It might be better to keep the current string itself and make its style like one in Statistics screen;

i.e.

• to enable the use of second line when the string is long (or constantly use two lines as user1823 mentioned)
• to make the font smaller

This is an early-alpha type of bug. The fact that it has not been fixed since last year is crazy

"I'll reconsider this issue." Take your time 😂

[david-allison]

@johncaiwa not appropriate.

Pull requests are open if you feel this is a priority

I totally agree that not being fixed since last year is not appropriate
