Page descriptions are displayed when they are not part of a collection,
which is expected behaviour. If you have a collection, its description
is displayed, but as stated, long descriptions are cut off because they
don't fit into the field. All description fields are now plain text and
don't allow formatting any more. We haven't yet implemented a 'metadata'
option yet that is displayed in a modal for a page.

Title:
  Be able to view the full collection description

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  https://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=7947

  We should figure out a way to display the full collection and page
  description in the "My portfolios" block as well as the new "Pages and
  collections" screen if the description is very long and doesn't fit
  into the available space.

  The collection description is plain text whereas the page description
  isn't and thus could contain a whole lot more than just text.

  I would not turn the collection description field into TinyMCE anymore
  as we don't need the description to contain content like in the past
  for pages to allow for ta top banner.

  Possibilities are:

  - Hover over the description and show the full description
  - little chevron to expand it (wouldn't really work on "Pages and collections" though)
  - ?
