Presentation of text

Justification

Default text justification is left. There are only a few exceptions to this, in specific cases, for example:

It must also be noted that when the display text language is Arabic or some other language following right to left writing direction, many elements are right justified. (See [some specific document] for more information on layout changes for right-to- left languages.)

Truncation

When a text does not fit into the view where it is displayed, it must be truncated. By default, texts are truncated from the end, and three periods (…) are displayed in the end of the truncated text as an indication. Exceptions to the main rule:

￿￿Phone numbers are truncated from the beginning, because the first digits of a phone number are usually considered less important than the rest.

Typically, the primary action of the key is performed when the key is pressed down, already before the key is released. (There may be exceptions to this rule; see the Edit key section for an example.)

Some functions depend on the length of the key press:

￿￿In a short key press the key is held down for less than 0.8 seconds.

￿￿If the key is held down for 0.8 seconds or more, the result is a long key press.

￿￿Normally, if the pressed key (in the given context) has functions for both a short and long key press, the short key press action is performed first at the moment when the key is pressed down, and if the key press turns out to be long, then the long key press action is performed. In a few cases - the Applications key and the
