Show more/less in notification row annoyances #1981

Summary

All the times it's turned up for me it's not been helpful - with the 'show more' taking up more space than if it wasn't there. Maybe need to be less aggressive with it? item_notification.xml

As the target is small and the middle text link surrounds it, it's annoying to accidentally open the browser.

Possible solution

A solution that might solve all of this issue and #1980 is doing away with the "show more", and having the entire notification row be a link. Having a longer trimLength (I'm thinking like 280 chars) with an ellipsis if it's somehow over that should be okay. The user can view the commons website for the entire notification text if it's really long, if they're clicking through to the website anyways.
