Description Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2006-03-08 08:32:39 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
You cannot use logview to view logfiles containing Java stacktraces, as it
doesn't wrap long lines starting with whitespace.

Steps to reproduce:
Open a log file containing messages about Java exceptions having stacktraces
attached.

Actual results:
The stacktrace lines are cut.

Expected results:
Would expect a scrollbar or even better I'd expect them to wrap considering
initial spacing.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Mentioned at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/37877 as well:

"The systemlog tool (i hope thats what its called in Enligsh) works nice, but the messages are often too wide too read. I would need a horizontal scrollbar or line-breaking, so that the rest of the messages are readable.

There is vertical scrollbar, just no horizontal scrollbar, or line break."

Hope it make sense.
Comment 7 Vincent Noel 2006-06-07 10:25:26 UTC 
Lin Ma : 

two things: 1) could you just keep the changes relative to the current bug (ie add a scrollbar to the window), and remove the parts that move the "Monitor" option around ? 2) there's no need for commenting a line you don't want anymore, just remove it (in the last part of your patch).

Once you do these two things the patch should be fine. Thanks!

This seems fixed in Ubuntu feisty, so it must be fixed upstream as well?
If so, shouldn't this bug be marked 'fixed' ?

Comment 10 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-12-23 15:08:46 UTC 
Logview has been rewritten, so this is now obsolete.
Please refer to bug #548594 for line wrapping support.
