What happened?
#47263 changed the logic for the display of the read more button in the Articles Module (display only if there is a fulltext present).
Version
5.4
Expected result
See a read more button if the text was shortened with Introtext Limit (there is more to read)
Actual result
The problem now is: if you are using the Introtext Limit to shorten your articles text instead of using the readmore marker, no read more button will be displayed.
Article without readmore:
Parameters in the module:
Articles
left with intro- and fulltext
right without readmore

Confirmed on Joomla 5.4.5.
Steps to reproduce:
Result:
The article intro text is truncated in the module output, but no "Read More" button is displayed.
Expected:
A "Read More" button should be shown whenever the intro text is truncated, even if no readmore marker is present.
