2 weeks ago Hi,
I thought about it, but right now I don't see good solution.
- Your proposition has advantages and disadvantages because it require several rows for one message. If output has many such messages - will be problem with reading of other messages. Moreover, such mode for all message will give significant impact to overall performance.
- Horizontal scrolling - not solution.
- Marquee scrolling - better, but also has problems.
- Font size doesn't solve this issue.
- Current implementation - not convenient.
Solution should be somewhere in the middle. As for me better decision will be showing whole message in word wrap mode (as you want), but it will not be activated by default. It will be activated only for that message where was pressed button "..." (only for last one). Button "..." is button, but not place for hint.
In next version I will do such implementation.
In any case, thank you for improvement proposition.

Hi,
I'd like to suggest a possible improvement: ability to turn on word wrapping to show long lines properly.
Right now if you have a complex log output with dates, severity levels, categories and longer messages, the output is mostly unreadable without making the extension window unreasonably wide, which is not suitable for most window layouts. See the attached screenshot.
I know that hovering over the "..." icon shows a tooltip with the full message in it, but that's pretty cumbersome to use since I must wait for several seconds just to see one message.
I saw that font size setting will be part of a new update, but in my opinion that will solve half of the problem. To show very long lines in their entirety, one must set a pretty small font size, that will make readability even worse.
