SM2 timing missing from revealed answers

Hi. Two small Pleco beta inconveniences for self-grading when using SM2 on an iPhone 13 mini. (1) After revealing the answer, I see Chinese characters for 1, 2, 3, 4 at the bottom of the screen but most of the text below the number is missing. Exactly what text appears depends on the card’s status of course but, for example, I might see “again” (n appears on a new line), “hard 10m”, “good” (d appears on new line) and “easy 4d”. In other words, some answers do not show the text for how long before the card will reappear. Probably my small iPhone 13 mini screen is the problem. For me, it would be preferrable to prioritise the timing part of the answer (e.g. “4d”) for each button, even if that meant there was no room for the words again/easy/good/hard. (2) Perhaps a bug but sometimes (several times in a session, I am not sure if it is something that I do) I find that the text disappears altogether for all future cards in that session, i.e. I only see the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. This is reset back to normal by swiping away the open Pleco app and restarting it (which is not a problem, since Pleco ‘remembers’ where I am in the flashcards session). Apologies if the above has already been noted elsewhere on the forum.

Sorry, could you post or email me (mikelove at pleco ) a screenshot of this? We tried several times to reproduce this here and were unsuccessful.

Hi. I had a another look and think that item 2 above is incorrect – so sorry for wasting your time on that point! For my item 2, I probably missed that the text seems to disappear only when I hit the up arrow to display the menu (Search, Reader, etc.) and then comes back when I click it again to make space. However, as per the attached screenhot, the minor inconvenience of item 1 does apply. For the example shown, my preference would be to see 60s/10m/24h/4d (which I can see in menu/list form when I click the tick) rather than or as well as the numbers 1-4. The particular flashcard is from the Pleco Forum years ago (Practical Audio-Visual Chinese) and the test is the default SM2.

Thanks. Sorry, looks like it's an issue with font magnification - the labels in those buttons should be capped at a lower font size than they are regardless of how magnified fonts are on the rest of the screen.
