Since a recent update, individual comment bodies in Jira Cloud issues are now collapsed/truncated by default, requiring users to click "Show more" on each comment to read its full content.
This is a significant UX regression for anyone who regularly works with issues that have active comment threads. Having to expand every single comment one by one just to follow a discussion is extremely disruptive to workflows.
Expected behavior: Comments should display their full content on load, as they always have.
Request: Please provide a user-level (or at minimum site-admin-level) setting to disable this automatic collapsing, or revert this change entirely.
Environment: Jira Cloud, observed as of August 2026.
