Very long lines are completely white in the log

[qlikTERror]

Here we have sometimes very long lines (24k chars). They are white in LogExpert

[zarunbal]

Currently I can only propose a workaround to "fix" this problem. I would change the implementation that the line is truncated at the maximum which can be displayed and add some indicator that the line is truncated.

Maybe later if you double click or something on such long line a new Window shows up which displays the full line.

[zarunbal]

So I can finaly provide a beta build for the truncate of long lines. It would be great if you could check if this solution works for you.

Changes in this branch:

• Lines which exceeds a limit (4675 characters) will be truncated. Indicated by "..." at the end.
• IMPORTANT if you use custom Plugins (which are not provided in the zip) there are breaking changes in the plugin interface!!!

Description

I tested localy on my machine after what count of characters the white line appears and this was the count. If a line gets truncated only the displayed line is truncated! If you want to see the full line you have always the ability to copy the full line and view it in e.g. N++.

@qlikTERror Included the changes of this issue to the release. A short feedback would be great.

Hi @zarunbal I didn't test it directly but who tested it said the workaround worked as expected.
We would still prefer to have the full line, but this is better than the white one. Thank you for the effort!

This is still not in the current 1.6.7?

[zarunbal]

The changes should be in the release since 1.6.7. There is still a hard limit on 20k chars where the line is truncated. I'm working currently on this limitation that this is removed.

I seem to observe this same issue in the 1.8.2 (and CI version).
A line of 6037 chars appears blank.
