 Hi @maltonge, welcome to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the report.

 > I've been on this for days, I thought it was an issue with the theme

 Twenty Seventeen is indeed designed to show full posts on home page, it
 only shows excerpts on search pages. If you'd like it to show excerpts on
 home page, you'd need to create a child theme and replace this line in
 `index.php` template:
 {{{
 get_template_part( 'template-parts/post/content', get_post_format() );
 }}}
 with this one:
 {{{
 get_template_part( 'template-parts/post/excerpt', get_post_format() );
 }}}
