Description
Steps to reproduce
- Create or edit an event
- Add a long description (16+ lines in day view, 23+ lines in list view)
- Event jumps off to the left of the screen so half of it can be seen to be edited nor viewed, like this
Expected behavior
I expect the same behaviour as exists in week and month view. However long event descriptions are there, the events don't become un-viewable by largely jumping off the screen
Actual behaviour
Events with long descriptions jump off to the left of the screen so half of it can be seen to be edited nor viewed in both day and list view.
