Description
### Expected
I expect the beginning of a very long note title and the beginning of the note content to always appear in the note list.
### Observed
If the note title is very long (498+ characters), no note content will appear in the note list. Instead, the beginning of the note title appears with empty space beneath it.
Note: This feels like a corner case and may not be a frequent/realistic scenario. I discovered it by accident while testing (not dogfooding) with large amounts of content. Given that, if the solution is not easy or if this scenario has already been considered, I could imagine leaving the behavior as-is.
### Reproduced
1. Create a new note.
2. Add a short title and content.
3. Notice that the title and beginning of the content appear in the note list.
4. Add more text to the title so it is 498 characters or more.
5. Notice that the note content no longer appears in the note list.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the macOS note list using a title of 498 or more characters and short note content. Trace the note-list presentation from that reproduction, then verify that the beginning of both the title and content remain visible for very long titles.
