GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 758229
missing scrolling
Last modified: 2016-03-14 13:24:37 UTC
Created attachment 315749 [details] screenshot I'll attach a screenshot that shows two problems: 1) Cutting off the title like that is dum :-) (ie it should say 'systemd-coredump', not 'systemd-coredum') 2) The window extends far beyond my screen, because there is no provision for scrolling the long message.
Created attachment 320166 [details] [review] Patch For the first problem, the name is not cut by Logs. Logs just fetch the _COMM field value in systemd as the title. So that's not a problem of Logs. For the second problem, patch attached to solve it.
Oh, I see. For the first problem, I can confirm it. I'll spend some time later on to fix it. Thanks for the report.
For the title cut off issue. It's a kernel limitation on field length. So if we keep only using _COMM to display the title, the issue will exist util some fixes have been done at kernel side. As a workaround, we can detect if the length of _COMM field is smaller than 15. If it isn't, we use another field such as SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER as the title.

Let's discuss it there.
