When looking at the details of a MARC authority record on the staff interface, the descriptions of the subfields are cut off. The title attribute has the full description, but in the span it's cut off in the middle: /cgi-bin/koha/authorities/detail.pl?authid=... The field descriptions display fully.
Created attachment 111000 [details] [review] Bug 26576: Subfield descriptions on authority detail view are cut off This patch corrects the authority detail view on the staff interface so that subfield descriptions are not longer output as truncated strings. For instance, before this patch the subfield description for 035$a would be "System control numbe" After the patch it should be "System control number." Based on the assumption that the subfield descriptions were truncated at some point for readability reasons I've also made some style changes intended to improve the readability of the page. To test, apply the patch and go to Authorities. - Search for and view the details for an authority. - On the authority detail page, confirm that subfield descriptions are shown in full. - Confirm that the style changes look good and make the data more readable.

I like the visual improvements. My only minor quibble (and I don't have any suggestions) is that the italic text in blue - people may think it is a link. Everywhere else in the staff interface, such as the catalog, thinks you can click on such as the subjects or authors are in blue.

I talked to Owen and he pointed out that the color is the same as is used for the subfield descriptions in the basic editor. I think that means we could deal with working out a different color scheme on a separate bug.
