I am finding that there is a bug for word limit in description as we can write upto a certain limit in pokemon go but Wayfarer editing option makes us able to write beyond that limit but I am finding some nominations occasionally in which it seems the descriptions got cut out I don't know what's the reason but I am finding this thing more often. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. Thank you

Yes I also find the same for some nominations sometimes.
I have also seen this type of problem in my nomination, now either there is a limit in the wayfare details table, otherwise it should be allowed to remain after the voting.
i am also finding some nominations with description or titles cut out after some words
Yes i am also finding some descriptions got cut and not written completely as desired.
I have also seen that in some of nomination I wrote a full paragraph description but I'll was cut off due to some reason and then I had to make an edit tohe description.I didn't think of it first but seeing various people are experiencing this issue is a concern.
Earlier, the limit was 256, now it is 512, I believe.
Earlier, there was no limit, so quite long texts got copied and pasted into the descriptions.
Maybe this is a reason why some descriptions are longer than others.
No I am not saying some are shorter while others aren't I am just reporting the issue that some descriptions end with half sentences cut out even with some words not completely written as they doesn't make sense hence this might be an issue which is making descriptions truncated from wayfarer edit to in voting descriptions maybe of same word limit as the actual game submission limits without our Intel which could cause change to desired descriptions or maybe even titles. Hence it would be better to either keep the game word limit on the Wayfarer editing system or change the game word limit to same as that in Wayfarer.
@LukeAllStars-PGO why you copy and paste description? Niantic prefers original description no copy paste and i do the same, that's not a good habit as well.
I think he means that he types out the description elsewhere and then uses copy and paste to put it into his edit when it's on Wayfarer. I do this too. I have a word document that I use for submission text.
Yes, I don't do so. But I have seen several edits with over 5k symbols and a "source: Wikipedia" at the end.
Ok
Yes that's fine
Here too for example, in this supporting text also after words of last line will make only 3 alphabets hig are visible and word got cut out maybe possible complete sentence or sentences are cut out.
Niantic please resolve this issue we are getting some nominations on review with supporting texts and possibly other text got cut out from desired ones because that might lead to some misleaded results.

Another example where sentence is stopped after seen as a, then I considered this ongoing problem and also felt for the submitter because they might not know the problem that happened to their nomination.
Any solutions anyone?
Another example of truncated text I found today,
Another one found. After word paint the words or sentences seems to be missing.
Sadly another example
Here after Shani D there is nothing which doesn't seem the actual case.
I have seen my nomination also cut it's description in voting as compared to what I have submitted after editing it from Wayfarer
Now I am finding some supporting texts ending with 3 dots like ... And if i click on them I can see complete supporting text after opening it but it's available only on some not others is it a new feature niantic is implementing? That would be great if they are implementing this change.
The 3 dots you're describing is how it's supposed to display if the description or supporting info is longer than the box on screen would normally allow (it's not a new feature, it's been there for a significant amount of time), and tapping on the description will bring up an expanded box showing the full text. However, this itself is bugged, as the expanded text box does not correctly fit the screen width on mobile devices, and cannot be scrolled left or right, so you're left trying to figure what words are off screen.
Ok @HankWolfman-PGO that maybe the reason that some are showing dots for expansion while some get truncated without being able to show the complete box, hopefully they can fix it so we can see complete Wayfarer edited proper texts for any nomination in review without getting issues.
