History pane shows end of long text if "Wrap lines" is unchecked #56

Open Rational-IM opened 3 years ago

Problem Description

With "Wrap lines" unchecked on the History pane, every time I run some code, because of how long the string printed is, the pane tries to show the end of the string. With that, I can't see prior shorter commands. See the example below:

What steps reproduce the problem?

  1. Uncheck "Wrap lines" on the History pane
  2. Run a code with F5
  3. See that the horizontal bar is adjusted to show the end of the long command string

Would it be possible to show the beginning of the text instead?

Also, if I select a line on the History pane and press F9, nothing happens. Wouldn't it be nice if the same command would run (on the Console) if pressing F9 after selecting a line in the History pane?

Hi @Rational-IM, thanks for reporting. I think this is a UX issue so Ill transfer it to our UX repository where we can discuss it better.
