Long expressions make Extract Operation History unusable #538

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If there are long expressions(no line breaks) in the history list, then the 
JSON window becomes unreachable/non-viewable(squeezed off the far right side of 
the screen), thus rendering the copy & paste / redo functionality unusable.  
Resizing the browser does not solve the problem.

Please see the attached image.

Thank you,

It won't work for extreme cases, but in your example there's just enough of the 
pane visible to work with.  You can slide the whole pane left by clicking and 
holding in the top title bar and then drag the little corner handle at the 
bottom of the little white sliver on the extreme right to show more of the text 
pane.  All you need is enough of it to be visible to be able to select all and 
copy the text.

Still needs to be fixed, but that workaround might help anyone who runs into 
this and has enough of the pane showing to work with...
