Device, method, and graphical user interface for displaying additional snippet content

A method, comprising:

• at an electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface:
• concurrently displaying a plurality of snippets of text including a first snippet of text and a second snippet of text, wherein:
• the first snippet of text includes first displayed snippet text corresponding to a first portion of text from a document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• the second snippet of text includes second displayed snippet text corresponding to a second portion of text from a document associated with the second snippet of text;
• detecting a first gesture associated with the first snippet of text, wherein detecting the first gesture includes detecting a first contact and a second contact on the touch-sensitive surface and detecting movement of the first contact relative to the second contact on the touch-sensitive surface;
• and
• in response to detecting the movement of the first contact relative to the second contact:
• modifying the first snippet of text to include an additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet of text that was not included in the first displayed snippet text, wherein the additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet of text includes:
• additional text that occurs prior to the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• additional text that occurs after the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• maintaining display of the second snippet of text without adding any additional text from the document associated with the second snippet of text to the second snippet of text.

A graphical user interface on an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, a memory, and one or more processors to execute one or more programs stored in the memory, the graphical user interface comprising:

• a plurality of snippets of text including a first snippet of text and a second snippet of text, wherein:
• the first snippet of text includes first displayed snippet text corresponding to a first portion of text from a document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• the second snippet of text includes second displayed snippet text corresponding to a second portion of from a document associated with the second snippet of text;
• wherein:
• a first gesture associated with the first snippet of text is detected, wherein detecting the first gesture includes detecting a first contact and a second contact on the touch-sensitive surface and detecting movement of the first contact relative to the second contact on the touch-sensitive surface;
• and
• in response to detecting the movement of the first contact relative to the second contact:
• the first snippet of text is modified to include an additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet that was not included in the first displayed snippet text, wherein the additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet of text includes:
• additional text that occurs prior to the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• additional text that occurs after the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• display of the second snippet of text is maintained without adding any additional text from the document associated with the second snippet of text to the second snippet of text.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, cause the device to:

• concurrently display a plurality of snippets of text including a first snippet of text and a second snippet of text, wherein:
• the first snippet of text includes first displayed snippet text corresponding to a first portion of text from a document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• the second snippet of text includes second displayed snippet text corresponding to a second portion of text from a document associated with the second snippet of text;
• detect a first gesture associated with the first snippet of text, wherein detecting the first gesture includes detecting a first contact and a second contact on the touch-sensitive surface and detecting movement of the first contact relative to the second contact on the touch-sensitive surface;
• and
• in response to detecting the movement of the first contact relative to the second contact:
• modify the first snippet of text to include an additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet of text that was not included in the first displayed snippet text, wherein the additional portion of text from the document associated with the first snippet of text includes:
• additional text that occurs prior to the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• additional text that occurs after the first displayed snippet text in the document associated with the first snippet of text;
• and
• maintain display of the second snippet of text without adding any additional text from the document associated with the second snippet of text to the second snippet of text.
